Telephones

We have a traditional phone, also called a land line, and two cell phones.

Every time it rains, the house phone loses its dial tone, has static and a pathetic little beeping noise as if it's in pain.

So then we use the cells. Many years ago we checked on getting out of the "bundle" for tv, internet and phone service. The price would go up because we would not get the special deal.

So today I called my service provider. We have had seven inches of rain in the last two weeks and intermittent phone service.

Wow! Now our bill will not go up. Instead of paying $35.00 for the phone as listed on the statement, we would have a total bill minus $2.20 cents.

This would mean we would have to get a different modem that is only for internet and change out the old one.

I guess we'll leave it that way it is. What a deal!
