I seriously doubt that. Network effect "just" makes a particular means of communication more favorable - it doesn't prevent the use of any of the options.

Not being able to use the phone cuts you of from a lot of services where no option exists.

Nah, it really doesn't when compared to something like getting banned from facebook.

I make way more video calls with people than I make phone calls. And probably around 50% of my communication is done over FB message.

It would be way less of a problem to get banned from making phone calls for me and for many other people.
