Their talking this morning on news about large areas have 911 outages. Makes me think about the change the wife put in place just last Tuesday.
We now for the first time in our lives no longer have a hard wired phone in the house. The wife was looking at all the new bundling deals wireless companies are offering decided was time to change.
We are actually coming up on our 45 wedding anniversary. We have had the same phone service provider all these years. Even though we have moved 4 times we have stayed in same service area. Even my first cell phone I got back in 1990 was threw that same provider, my number hasn't changed. Like so many companies the name change as they bought and sold parts of the company. So at some point my cell phone was no longer threw the wire provider but sold to Verizon.
Anyways long story shortened. We now have all our services bundled and provide by Verizon. We still have the same home phone number we have had for last 30 some years. My cell phone number is the same first and only one I've had since 1990.
I have to admit it does unnerve me just a little being totally wireless. We actually could have saved a few dollars more if dropped off the phones here in the house and had that number ring to our cellphones. But I'm that don't work for me..
So anyways I know their are people who are totally wireless. Bot my kids never had what I call hard line in house.
What's the rest the world doing??
