Do people really hang up the phone without saying 'goodbye'?

I remember being taught phone etiquette. I was told when I answer a phone to say 'Hello, who is it?' Then before you hang up you say 'goodbye'. So do people hang up without a parting phrase? You say whatever you have to say then hang up?

Not a lot do. I think it's because they get distracted during a conversation with someone else that might be in the room with them or by something else. I was always taught to say hello and goodbye. It is just good etiquette
