Yup I do know that Aaron but thank you. What I am paying for right now is Internet and a landline and I am currently looking into a desktop phone that I can use and push the buttons with my fist to call numbers or you have to push a button (I need that independents) and have it looked up to my cell phone number and set up my home number. I have found someone who has done that but they have much more movement than I do and she is not a quad.
