As for caller ID only a few bucks a month. A few bucks here on this, and a few bucks there on that, and eventually add up to you staying at home rather then going out camping because you can't afford to go camping. It's the little things that add up. The big expenses are easier to manage.
Where does the caller ID show up on the push button Ma Bell Desk Phone setting next to my computer show up? Or, how about the Rotary Dial Phone in my porch ?
Lets see if this will give you all something else to talk about.
(This is fun)
If the 'little expenses' are so important why then are you still paying 'Ma Bell' every month?
You obviously have a computer and internet service why not use VOIP service for free?
Actually, my landline telephone and internet service provider and the same. It's all part of one package. 1.5 Megabytes. Best you are ever going to get out here.
Some day I may have to give up my beloved land line. Too bad. It works so well. On my cell phone the sound quality and microphone are so bad that I can't hear what other people are saying and they can't hear me either. Forget about having a conversation with background noise around. No wonder we all text.
Maybe VOIP would be better. (Whatever the heck it is ??) But, I have had the same landline phone number for 32 years. People expect me to be there when they call.
But, nothing last forever. I'm not getting any younger either. Someday my family and friends will just have to learn to get along without the old dependable Caveman.
