Ack! My landline is down!

[bowtie_pasta]

My home telephone line stopped working this afternoon after I went to work. I used the phone at 2pm and that was the last time. Now we just have dead air.

 

Called Verizon and they ran the quick test to my NID and said they are testing good. So I don't know what's going on. When I get home tonight I'm going to try to hook a test phone up to the NID and see what I get.

 

So glad I'm on cable internet now and we have cell phones. Heck, if our cell phones got better reception in the house I'd ditch the landline all together.

 

Anyway, it's been a strange day out here...

My sister has had cable internet and cell phone only for years now. It has worked good for her. If it is worthi it $ wise Id go for it.

You could always put a booster antena on your house and then run a cord to your cellphone so you would get better coverage. Plus you take all the Microwaves away from your head and you don't have to worry about drain bamage...

I know several people who do not have a land line at all. They use their cell phone as an all-in-one phone. This actually sounds like a good idea if your plan includes free long-distance, all you would ever pay is the monthly charge.......unless you go over the minutes, that is!

 

Oh yea, they have cable modems too!

I have a land line phone here at the house and i think it has about an inch of dust built up on it

cable modem also none of this dial up crap

 

 

 

But really im mostly all wireless with motorola or nokia and really dont have a problem with the two ways since I can hit a repeater where ever im at in the county

Well I'm still down. Came home last night and found out I don't even have a NID installed on my house. Only a circuit signal protector (fancy con block). So I didn't bring the butt set home with me cuz I thought I wouldn't need it, duh!

 

Anyway, at least the repair will be free.
