Next step, disconnect the home phone from the land line and stop paying Cox the big bucks for the
telephone!

Yippee.

You guys should have told me about that years ago!


Now we can only hope that all the nuisance callers, who used to call your landline, get your cellphone number.


I finally "dumped" my "wired" landline phone here after 15 years, and
set up an "internet" phone from the cable supplier. It's OK, but not as
good or reliable as the landline phone. I don't use it often. I
subscribe to a service that blocks about 90% of spam and robot calls
from my cellphone.

I use VoIP several years ago for a while. Didn't like it. Too much static or dropped calls or other
screwy stuff. I do use Skype for calls to a land line at my friend's house in Holland. Costs all of
$.02/minute, and the sound has always been spectacular.
