I somehow doubt that. VoIP is still obscure. The cell phone has much more to do with the demise of landline phones at home.
The quality of Skype connections a degraded considerably IMHO.
I can't believe how many people are using it.
Can I interest you in 40,000 rotary coin telephones? They are in perfectly functional condition. For the mere sum of $50 each, I will throw in the mechanical switchgear. Cash up front.

This is Europe.
Telephone service and quality are notoriously bad there.
Cell phones were a big hit along time ago there because it worked much better than land lines and wasn't nearly as regulated.
So I can believe VoIP is an improvement there.
Ha, with all the fraud going on with VOIP? You have to be kidding me.
VoIP is mobile to the exctent you can take it with you anywhere. Took mine to Okinawa last year as the hotel where we stayed had high speed internet. People called me on my "local" phone number. Also have a virtual number so old customers in one territory can still call my old number which is "local" for them and new customers in another territory can call on a new number that is "local" to them.
If I expand to a new territory I just add another virtual number for local access to customers there.
Out of the office, call forward or simul-ring goes to my cell phone automatically.
Lose internet connection and it automatically forwards to any number I choose.
Toll-free number is also available to cover larger areas or national.
I can even get a local phone number in another country if I want customers there to be able to contact me on what would be a "local" phone call for them.
Make as many outgoing long distance calls as I want for one flat monthly charge without ALL the taxes.
My company phone bill is now 1/5th of what it was with landlines.
You're right. But I won't shut down my landline phone until I have zero drop-offs on my cell. Right now, I have about five a day.
