Meshtastic (LoRa) doesn't do voice. There's barely enough bandwidth in the very best conditions.

Reticulum which works over Lora does though.

Given the bandwidth of LoRa tops somewhere around 11kbps, audio would be fairly low quality and it would take most of the channel capacity so only one person would be able to speak at a time in a given area. So while possible, it would be a very different experience than voice over 3G/4G/5G or WiFi.

With text, multiple conversations can be had fairly well due to the much lower bandwidth requirements.
