Hello I used my minicom today - first call in about a year. I used it to get someones email address. I then sent them a quick message by email because minicoms take forever. Apparently older deaf people still use minicoms, but everyone I know uses email or text. My home one broke about 2 years ago and I haven't bothered to replace it - it is easier to text. I think having an office mobile and text messaging plus email works better.
