This is WAY cool! Sorta cutting the cord so to speak. We've talked about getting our monthlies down for digital subscription services: Cable, Phone (landline and cell).

Did you keep your phone number? Congrats! -- Owen On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 1:19 PM, Douglas Roberts <[email protected]>wrote: > I just purchased a Google Nexus 4 GSM phone.
