Why is it that fewer and fewer people are making phone calls now that everyone is using WeChat, and is there still a need for the phone to exist?

Even though more and more people are using WeChat, there is still a need for phone calls.

Just as many people feel that with WeChat, no one will send SMS, and carriers should eliminate the SMS function. In fact, the reason why it still exists is that there is a need for it!

SMS can receive CAPTCHA, and in this day and age where CAPTCHA is required to sign up for any account, how are you going to receive it if you don't have SMS?

For those who don't have a second chance to cross paths with others, why do you have to add a WeChat for something that can be solved by sending a text message? If everyone has to add WeChat for everything, how many WeChats do you have to sign up for?

The same goes for the telephone, which will not be replaced by WeChat!

From the aspect of convenience, for the average person, no one may call you in a hundred or eighty years, and if there is, it is also marketing calls, scam calls, the phone is really not much use for yourself.

But, for people who work, not having a phone is not an option. For example, if you are delivering a courier or takeaway, you have to call someone to ask for a specific address and ask if they are at home, right?

If you are adding someone else's WeChat, you have to wait for them to pass you before you can ask, which is a waste of time and energy. In case the other party does not pass your friend verification, you this thing how to do? You can't keep it, you can't throw it away, what should you do?

In terms of consumption, phone calls are much cheaper than traffic!

You can make a phone call for an hour for maybe 10 bucks, try making a voice call or video call for an hour, and if you don't have a traffic package, or if you run out of traffic packages, it's impossible not to deduct a couple dozen bucks from your phone bill.

Specifically for mobile phones, traffic costs are expensive! I used to use the traffic to video with others, I did not know that the traffic exceeded the limit, directly on the spot buckle downtime!

WeChat has certainly permeated every aspect of our lives, but it is still not omnipotent, nor is it popular in every field! So, even if you use more people, it's impossible to replace the phone.
