I have a voip that uses the number that I’ve had since the early 80s. I use it for any online site that needs my phone number. I finally got a call blocker to stop all the nuisance calls.
Telephones are definitely a Pandora’s box. They were uniquely wonderful when they were primitive and expensive, but once it became possible for teenaged girls to talk for hours about nothing, and for commercial enterprises and politicians to telephone thousands of people for pence, things went sideways real fast. In fact even before things got crassly automated, telemarketing and political pitches had become a penance.

I tend to stare warily at the cellphone when it rings.

Why is it still called a phone? No one uses it as such.
