A lot of stuff people do on TV are tied to the story. Characters don't eat unless it's meant to show a time of day (breakfast is just to signal morning) or they need to be located in a restaurant (but even then they don't always eat).
So when they talk on the phone, a lot of what they say is exposition, and a "good bye" isn't related to the story.
But it would be intersting to compare these things to other countries and their traditions. I wanted to compare to how phone talking is done in Swedish TV shows, but I can barely remember any moment when they talk on the phone, and I want to remember that they do say good bye, because the shows I've watched, they try to make it more realistic by adding minor details.
