Maybe I'm a different use case, but I would never use phone over the computer audio on zoom if I can help it. The phone call codec is so bad compared to modern codecs that I couldn't imagine preferring it. The only situation is if I'm on the road in an area that has really terrible mobile service but for some reason has better phone service.

In any case, I know that Google meets at least supports dialing in using phone.

I actually use phone for Zoom audio pretty regularly because it has lower latency and higher reliability than computer audio. I recognize that the audio quality is lower, but I'd rather have fewer interruptions and lower latency than nicer quality that is delayed and interrupted. I simultaneously join video via computer, of course.

FWIW, I live in the heart of Silicon Valley, but there's only one ISP available so it's perhaps unsurprising that service isn't stellar.
