best of customer, worst of customer...
i now have a cell phone, and am excited to contemplate getting rid of my 'landline'. Since I already have cable modem access there seems little need for two phone lines, and the cell phone service seems much 'richer'.
Having made this dermination I thought I should inspect my 'landline' bill to see what charges I was paying, per month, before I make a call. Its approximately $90! The phone company must have loved me as a customer, no doubt i pay for services I don't use (call waiting, my phone does not allow me to see who is calling anyway etc.) Anyway, I will need to be a heavy user fo my cell phone to get the monthly bill up to $90 I guess ... (although I was in the UK last week, so we will see how much those calls cost). So I will silently move on and cancel my landline service (at the end of the summer I think).
I wonder if there is a product out there that I can 'plug' my cell phone into, when I am at home, and use it much like I would a landline phone. i.e. a 'box' that then lets me use a regular phone set when ppl call my cell phone ... now that would be way cool! (i.e. I do actually prefer using my landline phone when talking on the phone)
