Every mobile phone is a cell phone. Every tissue is a Kleenex. Every copier is a Xerox. Except some may not be but that doesn't really matter. It's what they're known as and taken for granted.

VOIP is just a set of Internet protocols for telephony. If you have mobile Internet, then theoretically, you can have VOIP. If you have 5G home Internet, you can have VOIP. With everything digital these days, even cable TV travels via Internet protocols, now, while cable Internet rides on a TV channel carrier. Analog is mostly dead, except for AM/FM non-digital radio.

It is this sort of sentimental, common-parlance imprecision that drives scientists crazy, and keeps lawyers busy.

And how your portable communications device gets to VOIP is by cellular.... Or WIFI at home.
Your friend in the telephony business's opinion I suppose.
Everyone has one.
I'll continue to go with the standard definition though.

And when you go to a movie, you go to a film. When you record a TV show, you tape it.

Most new movies/films are made with video cameras now. Besides Red, Arri, Canon, DJI, and Panasonic cinema cameras, some of those cameras are mirrorless models from Panasonic, Sony, Fujifilm, and Canon, along with DJI, Black Magic, and a few others.
You can still find Eastman Vision 3 Color Negative Films and ECN-2 processing, plus Double X black-and-white, D-96 processing, and various film workflow production companies, but there are very few, compared with 40 years ago. Digital production is way more efficient and offers a wider array of tools.

Although there are quite a number of movies are being made with film but when they show them in the theater they are digitized version.

I'm sure film or digital movies matter to some.
Me, I go for the visual/audio effect of the motion picture.
A movie, as opposed to a stiilie.

It ain't the medium, it's the message that counts. (Marshall McLuhan said, "The medium IS the message," back in the early 1960s. He had it all wrong for the 21st century.) However someone gets their message across to me, is fine with me. I really don't want the medium to get in the way. I just want to understand. Film? Digital? That's up to the director or photographer. I just watch.

Cellular and cell are both misleading terms. The technology has changed as we evolved to 2G, 3G (both obsolete in the USA), 4G, 4G LTE, and 5G. Much of it isn't really "cellular."
Most people 14-84 use smartphones now. "Just a cell phones" are used by middle schoolers with strict parents, and geriatrics. "Landlines" are all but gone, except for geriatrics and businesses and people who have no 911 service on their smartphones.

I'm one of the geriatrics with a landline.
