Both.
Yes, generally it's both and as loudly as possible -
out in the wilds of Withershinshire (where i live) that's common practice,
it makes you feel less lonely, true -
but it's also a sort of proto internet that's been around for generations.
"Where are my cigarettes goddamn it!" yells into the phone.
wait - wait -
oh a sigh comes riding on that lonseome wind
a whisper from some far off travelling man -
"I - dooooon't..."
what?
"... fucking know!"
oh - right, thank you.
Hold on my mobile's ringing.
"You left them on the book case!"
"Right you are, thanks for that - uh..."
"Oh I live down the valley - I just heard you earlier..."
"Oh sure - right, I know, yeah, I recognise your voice too -
and I think your cat's actually on the roof of the vicarage."
"Oh thank GOD - I've been..."
"looking, I know. Well, all's well that ends well eh? Sorry my land-line's going -"
click!
"What?"
"It's me! - you! - us! - chores, man!, washing up!"
You see if you yell, long enough, loud enough and often enough
you can actually be in two places at once.
Although it helps to be living in Withershinshire.

sometimes it speaks to me with the voice of my old friend - he always calls when I am bloody busy and tends to just communicate, no matter what the reason is - just to simulate communication :) It drives me crazy.
sometimes people call me considering I am a local hospital manager ;)
I have also a phone maniac child - very strange child, it calls us once every few month for several years already, laughs and never says a word. Very strange and seem like not growing.
And there are old ladies calling and asking whether they can talk to Anna (my granny). Nope, I am saying, she's too sick. but she alive, fine then.
And sometimes it's a voice of my Mom. or Dad. But they rather use cell ones. ^)
