Have you thought about ditching your phone?

I got into a piss match with Sprint and thus have no phone service right now. I can honestly say I don't miss it that much at all. That said I will either have to give in to Sprint or get new service because as much as I enjoy not having one my family gives me no end of shit for not having one. Wonder if Vonage would be a good service to have? Is that only for outbound calls? That would be kinda nice cause then no idiots could call me soliciting shit all the time, even on my cell when I had it.

TE I thought about telling my buddy in FL that if he wants me to be available for his chats then he can pay for my phone, LOL. I spend more time on ICQ with my parents than I do on the phone - usually the phone call is 30seconds long and consists of "just checking to see if you were home yet, we're on our way over".

If your family is giving you shit about it tell them to buy you a cellphone :P

The only reason I don't want to dump the phone *completely* is so I can dial 911 if I need to. I know that you're *supposed* to still be able to dial 911 but whenever I've moved into a new house and the phone hasn't been set up yet, there's not even been a dial tone to dial 911 with, so I don't trust that if I get the phone shut off completely I'd be able to call for emergencies.
