If so, do cell phone networks still get stressed?

    Back in the early 00’s everybody called and the cell network was stressed, I normally waited 15-30 minutes before calling my parents.

    Nowadays the 5g network can handle that many calls and a big chunk of the people use something else than phone calls.

      Does 5G handle regular voice calls, or are you talking about calling over a data line with an app?

        I would assume everything including GSM calls is IP/packet based nowadays, unless your phone has switched to 1G

          Isn’t 1G analog? All voice calls are transmitted digitally and have been since the early 90s.
