Dear H-T, Happy merry to all! Without getting into the gory details, I need an old school phone line at home. VOIP will not do the trick. Someone suggested a company called Spectrotel (www.spectrotel.com) as a less expensive competitor and I'd like to ask the group if anyone has any experience using this company. ATT might serve my area but is the same price as Verizon. I've done the math on our usage and unlimited plan seems to make the most sense vs. bare bones and a la carte local, regional, and long distance. Thanks, Andrew -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
