If so, do cell phone networks still get stressed?

You guys have people to call?
I used to call some relatives but the list I had dwindled then the last people became too hard of hearing to call.
This is very sad.
Huh? What’s that? Anyway, happy new year buddy!
What would they call each other?
Names.
Hello.
Annyeong.
Moodeng.
Her?
Some do, but it’s app calls now, so just more internet traffic.
I prefer normal calls over app calls.
I’ve only ever texted people, and always well before midnight. I’ve never called anyone on NYE, and I’m middle aged. Back in the day I was too busy in the moment to think of calling someone, and now a days nobody wants to be called, nor do I want to call.
Text messages are faster IMO
It used to be that SMS service would get so overrun with HNY messages that it’d be a game to see how long it took to get a response. For some, at least. It truly was a time of making your own fun.
Stupid wifi calling making our texts not even affect the cell towers :( Now everything’s just eye peas going down the series of tubes.
I’ll call my parents, that’s about it. Network for me has been good for the last few years.
No, texts/online are the norm now.
forgot that uded to be a thing, nowadays i just post comments on Lemmy
I just talked with 3 people right at midnight. Did have a problem with one call going through but once connected the quality was fine.
I just go to bed at 11, like i would on any other day off😅
I was asleep by 10. Woke up to so many texts and didn’t respond until I felt like it. It was honestly super nice. Just spent the night laying with my dogs and reading until I got sleepy.
I’m usually visiting my parents during new year, so I just text a few friends. We usually meet up later in the day, though.
Ew, no. Nobody uses phones for voice communication, dad. We are all shut-ins and any calls must be regarding an immediate life-or-death situation.
I scheduled a bunch of text to go out at midnight and they were fine. I do remember a time when both calling and texting would be delayed!
