it says I can use my regular existing phones..

but I have 3 regular existing phones in different rooms, and it only says it's going to give me one gizmo to plug my phone into.. and I'm betting that gizmo isn't going to just plug into my kitchen, which is where the most important phone lives.. but.. maybe it will? I don't see how, there's no cable in the kitchen..

I read the faq.. but it didn't address my questions.

I wasn't interested in cable phone because time warner's prices didn't really save me much money at all over what I pay already and my sister.. she has cable phone and her cable went out the weekend before 4th of july while her husband was dieing and the cable company did nothing to help them get it back.. despite all sorts of well connected people pulling.. attempting to pull every string they could.. the cable went out on friday and the guys showed up to fix it on wednesday morning alongside the undertaker. 🙁

so.. I wasn't intererested in cable phone but today I got an offer I'm finding hard to refuse.. except I need to figure out the phone in more room than one thing. and expandable phones.. is that expensive? having to buy a new phone and more handsets is going to seriously compromise the economy of switching.. or.. at least my first pass through best buy looks like it will..

I *hate* it when you gotta replace perfectly good perfectly working stuff just because the technology changed..

🙁

I *hate* it when people go on a big rant because technology changed when the change isn't nearly as bad as they make it out to be

hehe.. sorry. I didn't mean to rant.. I was just frustrated because the faq left me with more questions than it answered. let me change that. I hate when they change stuff and don't explain it well. I actually want to like this new technology.. 14.95 is a significant savings, and lots more features too 🙂

my sister says you plug in the gizmo and then you just plug your phones in where they already are.. don't change anything.. and it works. that doesn't make much.. any sense to me.. but if it works at her house, it oughta work at mine too.

now I just have to convince my husband.. who thinks we need regular telephone in case the dam breaks or a hurricane comes and knocks down the cell towers and the power goes out. but.. that's so unlikely to happen.. and if it does happen, we'll either have half a dozen trees through the house (hurricane) or it'll wash away (dam breaking) so.. we won't be here anyway. seems like a silly thing to worry about to me. 😛
