If so, do cell phone networks still get stressed?
forgot that used to be a thing, nowadays i just post comments on Lemmy
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.
Telstra also predicts that there will be 47 million calls from mobiles — up 15 per cent from last year — and close to 91 million text messages sent to family and friends.
Telstra said that the peak in texting starts just as we ring in the New Year.
Last year alone, more than 4.1 million text messages were sent between midnight and 1am.
For reference this is from 2017 and Australia has a population of ~24 million. So yes mobile networks do get stressed significantly on new years.
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.
I’ll call my parents, that’s about it. Network for me has been good for the last few years.
Not call but we are in discord calls.
Post your phone number.
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 have not used network calls since online messaging/calls was invented.
well i certainly never call anyone im a sheltered people who have no respect for society
