Phone service is "cheap enough" and works well enough for most people. Sure you can save some pennies by making a call over SIP, but you have to retrain people to call a different way. Not an impossible task, but not one that's going to happen overnight. @spg What you’re dealing with here is simple inertia. Phone service is “cheap enough” and works well enough for most people.
