I respect people’s right to use apple products, but please stop asserting “privacy”, big corps doesn’t give a shit.

minus-squareIlovethebomb@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThat’s just not how most people use words. To “call someone” usually means to actually speak to them. Leaving a voicemail doesn’t count. No matter how you spin it, a “phone” that doesn’t have the ability to make a traditional phone call is a joke.

minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoNZ is behind in this regard but in a lot of other countries the government and services like your mechanic would be available on WhatsApp. If I really needed a phone number there is plenty of services that provide VoIP numbers that functionally work like a normal number.
