A piece of advice I frequently hear: always make sure you call somebody in the company you’re applying for.
Is this still up-to-date advice? Or is messaging someone over LinkedIn or similar more appropriate? Mostly asking because I got the impression that the internet changed the norms to no one doing phone calls anymore.

Good question! I would find it plausible that it would have changed, except maybe if the people you’d call would be in their fifties or older.
There are also people who’s job it is to be a lot on the telephone and thus are well-reached by telephone even if they are younger.
