Since we're on the subject of service providers. +1 for Viatalk again this weekend. Noticed my home phone (VoIP) wasn't ringing so I checked the box

and it was flashing like it was doing a firmware update or something (per docs online). Emailed their support on Sunday afternoon and within 15 minutes they were sending me a new unit in the mail. I didn't even ask for it though obviously I needed one.

Gotta like that

This I don't understand. If you have unlimited talk, why do you have a home phone? -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:02 14
- I don't want junk calls on my cell, which is hardly ever on, and only if I'm away from home. - Covington Aug 31, 12:11 3
  - I get maybe 2-3 junk calls a week on my cell - if you don't recognize the # don't answer it - they never leave messages -- nm - decline Aug 31, 12:17
  - I use google voice for junk calls. it emails me transcriptions. -- nm - fabulous squad Aug 31, 12:16
  - There's truth here too. We give out our home phone for anything but basically never answer it. Goes to voicemail. I suppose that's the same - oblique Aug 31, 12:12
- We have my wife's old Nexus 4 on a prepaid monthly plan as our 'home phone.' Strangely enough, not everyone has a cell phone. - Shaun Aug 31, 12:06 1
  - My parents have one but only prepaid that they use in the car when travelling. Not that they're here a lot but... -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 12:08
- legacy. kids, babysitters (not an issue anymore), and it's the number that my wife's private music lessons has used forever - oblique Aug 31, 12:05 6
  - Your IM is what we did with our old home line and it just forwards to my wife's cell number. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:10 5
    - Cellular can go out, though so can Internet but at least I have some semblance of possibility that the VoIP line will work - oblique Aug 31, 12:11 4
      - Good luck with that :) -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:12 3
        
        At least I can put a UPS on my VoIP ATA and AT&T router (since I have DSL U-Verse) - oblique Aug 31, 12:12 2
        
        As long as the DSL is up... -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:13 1
        
        When the zombies attack, we're all doomed anyways -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 12:14
- exactly. -- nm - decline Aug 31, 12:04
