!!$$?? phone company ?!$

Just upgraded the household phone service to include unlimited long-distance calling to Canada. Along the way, added a big bundle of extras that included things like call waiting.

This saves me over $30/month over what I'm paying now. Excuse me?

It doesn't have to make sense, it's policy.

I should probably check something like that. Either the cell (which had been good as a pay-per-use) or the new home when available with internet, phone, TV utilities)

Drat. If I'd known you were poking about for phone service, I'd have pointed you at $NEWCOMPANY... they're even selling the voice plan independent of DSL now. Does require that you use their router up front for QOS, but...

(I hear tell that at least part of your work is getting new phones, and that they are ours.)

I wouldn't have gone for it -- I *really* want to have POTS on that line for emergencies. Like earthquakes. And DSL on that line is *not* AT&T, it's sonic.net.

My second line, which has the *old* DSL line that I've been too lazy to move my email off of, might be available for something like that, but more likely for a cell/cable/voice bundle. Cable more because I want high-speed upload for backups than because I want hundreds of worthless TV channels. If you can get me 10Mb/sec upstream for cheap I might be interested.

Wouldn't know about new phones -- $work/.. is a big company.

Feel free to echo $NEWCOMPANY | mail $me

We just switch phone service and declined a package, figuring all our long distance would be on our cell phones.

Alas, I keep forgeting for work and grabbing up the home phone.
