    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.

          You are right I thought GSM was 1G, instead it’s 2G-2.5G
