Re: How do I keep my old land line phone number?

I've been away from it for a while but am pretty sure that is NOT an available option.....and never was.....at least not for a "real" physical telephone line.536Views0likes0CommentsRe: How do I keep my old land line phone number?

We have our home number with us anywhere we go. $15 per month plus tax, unlimited talk anywhere in US This post is potentially misleading. For that to work, you MUST have some kind of Internet connection.....as the "phone" service really is VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocal). That is true of a LOT of the "alternative" phone services (all ??).537Views0likes0CommentsRe: How do I keep my old land line phone number?
Ron3rd wrote: that claim you can keep your phone number but I don’t know how this works. Anyone have advice? Only in the same area. Work around: Have your "home" phone number transferred to a cell service BEFORE you leave the area. That can even be a new number for your existing cell service. Then you can take it with you wherever you go. Caution: Be aware that the long distance billing will still happen to and from the area where the number "belongs". That usually isn't a problem but in some odd circumstances it can be. Make sure the cell company doesn't charge "roaming charges" for foreign numbers in the area that you are moving to. That also doesn't happen very often.299Views0likes0CommentsRe: Heading to Florida Saturday on I-75

Can you tell that I don't like driving through Chatanooga ??557Views0likes0CommentsRe: Charging batteries as 6 or 12 volt

Roy Ken Really excellent post.....until you had a brain cramp at the end. They don't list 12.0 as a charging voltage because......it isn't. Applied to a completely dead battery, 12.0 will only bring it up to about 25%, which is still considered dead.376Views0likes0CommentsRe: Charging batteries as 6 or 12 volt

The other part is just another old-wives tale. The liquid electrolyte is a fairly efficient conductor of heat and the "cold" of the floor will quickly spread to the whole assembly.376Views0likes0CommentsRe: Heading to Florida Saturday on I-75

In my experience, there are FAR more loonies on 285.....at all hours of the day and night. And the volume of traffic is almost always heavier. I won't comment on "tucking in behind a semi" except to say that I get a bit uncomfortable when the vehicle in front is closer than a quarter of a mile or so.....when I'm in the RV.557Views0likes0CommentsRe: Heading to Florida Saturday on I-75
allenm wrote: And speaking of that - is there a good way to avoid Atlanta without going way out of the way? With the key word being "good", the answer is NO. Avoid the outer loop/bypass/ I-285. It adds time and miles and is always a mess. Right through on 75, mid-day or weekend. If you need to overnight near Atlanta, do it on the FAR side of town.147Views0likes0CommentsRe: How To Trouble Shoot If batteries Are Getting Charged
mkirsch wrote: It's not the batteries. Probably not but you can NOT say that absolutely. It could even be something as simple as a loose or corroded connection at one of the main battery connections. Even with no batteries in place you should have usable 12 V power when plugged into shore power.343Views0likes0Comments
