    This works only if you’re replacing the land line. When we first got our “portable” phones, the phone company thought that they were a passing fad. So all the area codes for phones purchased in this rather rural county were assigned as being from the more urbanized county next to us. To this day, there are still people with cell phone numbers in one area code who have land line phones in another.

    Dropped my landline phone for a cellphone (prepaid minutes, no contract) over 10 years ago. No more multiple-page bills loaded with taxes, fees and charges. Don’t miss it a bit.

    If I don’t recognize a number, I don’t answer. It goes to voice mail. Caller I.D. on both my land-lines and cell is a blessing.

    cox suckers charge 25 bux a month. then add on 30 bux in fees, taxes, etc. but i only paid 6.95 in “tax”. call it a rate, fee, tarrif, deposit, or what, if it goes to the gov, it’s a TAX! gotta admit tho, it’s pleasant to hear the gentle bells of the old dial (the round thing with ten holes in the edge) wall phone, versus the tooth grinding annoying bleedle bleedle electronic “ring” from the modified keypad/handset “phone”.

    Once, when our old wall phone (no caller ID) rang, and I told my son to answer it, he said, “I’m not gonna answer it! I don’t know who it is!” I told him that used to be the point of answering the phone……….
