It still sounds like crap compared to a good landline phone. Ideally a 2500-set, designed to last for decades and not sound like you’re talking underwater while drunk.
Personally, given the choice, I’d ditch the cell phone and keep a landline. Even if it’s a VoIP landline. Because, really, who the fuck needs an electronic leash? The trend of needing a personal tracking device with you 24/7 is execrable.
Interestingly, the new LinkNYC terminals mostly provide wifi, but they also do free calling within the US via Vonage. So I could live without a cell, and just check voicemail occasionally from a Link if I’m outdoors, or from my laptop if I’m indoors/working.
