Have you thought about ditching your phone?

[Sharpie]

I have never had a phone line in my Florida houses. I just use cell. Since Dave and I are both on Verizion - the calls are free. No one locally that doesn't have a cell, calls me anyway.

I don't get those intruding sales calls. Occasionally, it is a pain. I couldn't get a Home Depot card.... oh well .... didn't really want one.

I use cable for internet.

The only thing I miss is needing to send a fax occassionally. Most things I can just scan and email.
