    The Dialer.

    • Comes with every phone
    • 10+ digit number instantly connects you with millions of people, services, and institutions
    • 3 digits connects you with life-saving emergency support
    • Very low-latency voice support
    • High quality audio (most of the time)
    • No ads
    • No obnoxious UI

    All kidding aside, I’m routinely astounded at how we have yet to top the ease and utility of old-fashioned phone service.

      Wow you’re right. How can we enshittify this? Perhaps you should hear an ad first before we connect you to the other side?

      Shit I shouldn’t give them ideas

        God… Imagine being in the middle of an important call for say discussing family affairs for a dying family member and you just hear “there will be a 30 second advertisement break in 1 minute.”… I’d probably pop a blood vessel.
