RE: Land Lines, was Re: Identifying labels when making a contact
And about 20 years ago I was engaged to a lovely Russian girl from the city of Ekaterinburg in western Siberia. We met online and I went there and one of the "attractions" of the area (an hour or so drive west of the city) is the border between Europe and Asia. Her Dad took us there and you can stand across the official line with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia. It was a pretty long flight, first almost 10 hours from Vancouver to Frankfurt and then after a couple of hours layover another 5 hours flight from Frankfurt to Ekaterinburg. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: September 4, 2021 10:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Land Lines, was Re: Identifying labels when making a contact Ukraine is in Europe and was in the western part of the Soviet Union, but Russia is also in Europe.

But I think we should stop perpetuating this thread with interesting geographical facts, anybody who wants them can easily ask their digital assistant, e.g. What is the size of Chine or What is the population of Brazil etc. Pretty much all of them, Alexa, Google and SIRI will answer those. Of course you can also type this type of question into the Google search box in your browser and you'll find the answer at heading level 2.

RE: Land Lines, was Re: Identifying labels when making a contact
There is a huge difference between 1996 and now. I think I bought my first cell phone around 1994, a big Motorola flip phone and it was quite expensive back then. Also remember that it is a lot easier and more cost efficient to set up a mobile network in a small country like England with a lot of people who all want the technology. Think of this as a comparison: In 2019 Canada's population was just over 37.5 Million, the United Kingdom had a population of over 66 Million The geographical size of Canada is 9,985,000 square Kilometers, that of the United Kingdom is 242,495 square Kilometers That means Canada is more than 41 times the size of the UK with a population which is 43% less. Its difficult to compare the UK to a province because our 3 small provinces, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are a lot smaller than the UK with 5,660 square Km, 55,000 square Km and 72,000 square Km and the next larger province, Newfoundland and Labrador is 405,212 square Km and then it goes to Manitoba and Saskatchewan with 647,000 square Km and 660,000 square Km, respectively. All other provinces are significantly larger, Ontario is 1,076,000 square Km, well over 4 times the size of the UK with a population of less than 15 Million people. Imagine you take more than 4 times the population of Ontario and stick that into a quarter of its size.

RE: Land Lines, was Re: Identifying labels when making a contact
Hi Mich, in 2019 in Canada there were just under 92 mobile subscriptions registered per 100 people and in the uK that number was just over 119. So while more subscriptions were registered in the UK, the fact is that there not all that many people any more in Canada who don't have a mobile phone especially in the regions where most of the population lives. You have to keep in mind of course that Canada as the second largest country in the world is so huge and that there are still a number of people living in areas where there is not even cellular coverage and I bet if you looked at the above statistic for people living in larger population centres that this number would be higher as well. Below is the introduction from a website with a ton of statistics on mobile usage in Canada and it shows that mobile devices and usage is growing incredibly fast which is partly du eto Canada's excellent and fast networks: The mobile revolution has visibly reshaped the digital ecosystem and telecommunications landscape in Canada. In recent years, mobile devices have become essential tools for connecting people across provinces and territories in the world’s second-largest country. As web-enabled smartphones and tablets have also become a portable gateway to the rest of the world, mobile usage is rapidly increasing throughout Canada, with more mobile devices finding their way into consumers’ hands than ever before: As of 2020, the number of mobile internet users in Canada<https://www.statista.com/statistics/482507/canada-mobile-phone-internet-users/> stood at 29.83 million, and by 2025, Canada’s mobile population is projected to surpass 33 million. Considering that Canada retains a top spot among the countries with the fastest average mobile internet speeds worldwide<https://www.statista.com/statistics/896768/countries-fastest-average-mobile-internet-speeds/>, mobile ownership and usage are not expected to slow down anytime soon.

RE: Land Lines, was Re: Identifying labels when making a contact
Indeed, Simon. I think the demise of landlines is inevitable but it can’t happen until more fibre is laid, or whatever is to replace it. I remember a time when I only used a landline and was charged by the minute. Now I can make a call up to an hour in length without charge, at least, I’m not charged by the minute but presume the cost is covered by my montyhly standing order. I rarely use the landline and truly wouldn’t miss it as most incoming calls are only sales calls.

hi, everyone, I remember when my parents bought our first car phone Wayback in the day. It must've been the 70s or 80s. It was called a bag phone. It was huge! We thought it was so wonderful that we could make calls to people from our car! Look how far technology came! Isn't it great?

RE: Identifying labels when making a contact
O I think you misunderstood my sarcasm. I think labeling phone numbers with something meaningful is extremely useful. I tis just Apple is still in the dark ages when it comes to these labels. They are back in the days when a Car Phone took up most of the middle console between the front seats and cell phones wade a couple of pounds. In fact, their labels have been out of date since the very first iPhone. Perhaps if everyone wrote Apple Accessibility and pointed out the silliness of some of their stock labels, they would update them.

I no longer have it But until 2 years ago I got a business plan from my cellular provider The plan gave me free calling within new Zealand and Australia With unlimited text and enough data to do me a month, But the big key point for my family was that it came with an additional landline number, So no landline phone at home, Just a number that geographically diverted to my mobile so that no matter where I was, I got all home phone calls or mobile calls and it told me which number was being rung That way I had both for the same price Which from memory ws about 65 kiwi dollars.I don’tthink you can get a landline phone here now for that.

hi Richard, and everyone, I also have a landline, and won't give it up. I like the idea of having a land line, because something could also happen to a smart phone as well. That did happen to me a couple of years ago. recently, I could not send the email, and had to contact my email provider. It was fixed in a jiffy. I was certainly grateful for that.

$20 a month over 3 years is $720 which goes a good way towards a new iPhone and since nowadays it is no problem to keep an iPhone for 4 years one could say that what many spend on a landline would pay for their new iPhone.

RE: Land Lines, was Re: Identifying labels when making a contact
Land lines are cheap now, about $20 a month with unlimited long distance. Of course not everyone can afford even this cheap price. And as Sieghard says, it can be confusing if people have both numbers. Sometimes they text the land line. Again, as Sieghard says, to each his own preference.

Agreed, Richard.

And, it will forward to our work cell phones as well. I actually still have a land line, only because it wasn’t going to cost extra to keep it or save me any money to get rid of it. Go figure.

Furthermore I wish that if one would then choose to select all and delete, that only the visible results would be deleted. Currently you can either delete individual calls or you can completely clear your recent calls list, it makes no difference if you choose to show only missed calls and then select to clear them, it still clears the entire call list. I have put this in as a suggestion a few times over the years, but apparently I am the only one who would find this useful and it would probably not be very difficult for Apple to implemenbt this. As for the labels there is one other issue which bugs me a lot and that is the following scenario: 1. Assume you have a contact called John Smith and you have a work phone, home phone, a fax number and a mobile number for that person 2. I now say to SIRI "Message John Smith" and I am not specifying "mobile" 3. SIRI will ask "Which of these should I use for John Smith, work phone, home phone, fax number or mobile" It is of course completely ridiculous why SIRI should ask this because you typically can't send a text message to a landline, e.g. work or home phone and you definitely can't send a text message to a fax number. And if you also have an email address added to the contact, e.g. johnsm...@gmail.com<mailto:johnsm...@gmail.com>, SIRI often also includes this in the list. Of course I can still understand it since if somebody has iMessage enabled you can send an iMessage to their email address, then at best it should ask if you want to use "Mobile or email". It's just another way where SIRI falls short of what it should be after 11 years of being around. At least it seems Apple has finally made SIRI smart enough where you can add a Contact with just a company name in the Company name field, e.g. Apple Accessibility, and then say "Call Apple Accessibility". Until maybe last year you always had to also add the company name either in the first name or last name field if you wanted to ask SIRI to call it or else it would not find it.
