    1. Voice calls via POTS isn’t a big thing via laptop. Most calls like this are now via apps. Hell, I despise using POTS any more, my phone SIM doesn’t even do voice, all calls are VOIP now via a service that interconnects with POTS.

    2. You can use a SIM dongle for laptops without a built-in modem. Though business class laptops have a cell modem as an option

    There’s just little call for circuit-based voice calls any more. Those connections are more sensitive to network issues, and I’d bet most voice calls are some form of VOIP anyway. If you really need circuit-based calling, you can still do it over IP using a service like jmp.chat
