Re: Regarding the house and mail box shots
I still have a land line... and two phones that don't require electricity hooked up to it. One is a beautiful dark red rotary dial with a good old fashioned ring to it. The other is a slimline type with extra large buttons and touch tone. I'd never give them up - at least, as long as landline service is available. It worked on 9/11 and on several blackouts over the years. Aside from this functionality, it serves as a cellphone locater, a safe connection for calling a bank to check balance using an 800 number, or for any toll free calls because there are no charges for minutes , of course, and if I need to talk a really long time to a friend it won't use up charge and if they call me there is no layout of funds.I took the answering machine off it... but I can hear it ring all over the apartment so if I'm here I can get to it. a couple of weeks ago the phone went dead... but thankfully it turned out to be all Verizon's fault and not anything local so not only did they not charge me to fix it but I'm getting a small credit for loss of service for almost a week. And a recent article on cell phone dangers pointed out that the concerns extend to any cordless phones - but you can talk on a landline that isn't cordless for hours with no physical danger other than tgelephone elbow. ann David J Brooks wrote: On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 2:16 AM, David Mann d...@multisport.net.nz wrote: On Apr 2, 2011, at 8:39 AM, P.

Just because you don't have running water and electricity, doesn't mean you don't have a phone.
