Voice calls are a very good communications tool and can be beneficial. The trouble is that for rich countries the voice function of a phone is barely relevant, it is everything else that does the damage, destroys cultures and socienties.

Providing clean drinking water, sanitation and education is probably a better use of money than this. Yes is has its place, but just not how the west perceive it.
