Calling All Internet Forum Addicts

I seldom use my smart phone. I don't even know if it still has a valid SIM card. My old Samsung has a battery life of about 10 days. It functions as an alarm clock and I can make and take calls. All I need, especially when far away from electricity.

I relate to that, while languishing in hospital my mobile phone was my clock and contact with the world. Now i am back home it sits on the shelf on charge next to my car keys.

Our landline is VOIP now, with 5 cordless handsets and a main base station connected to the router , the handset on that is cordless. The technology works, the kids can chat to their old friends in the UK with no charge.

The two landlines are adequate, except that I cannot get a hold of my husband when he is sleeping while I am at work, because there is no phone in the bedroom, since the cable jack does not work anymore and the cable company does not fix those anymore.
They say that eventually they will phase out landlines, it's coming. At least our cells work at home, in our older house in the country we had no cell service.
