I have an Ooma phone with a 603 number. The taxes are the only charge and run about $5 per month so it is pretty cheap.
I take the Ooma box to Florida during the winter. I used it more often at the previous Florida house because the cell coverage was lousy. I take great joy in calling my New Hampshire friends during a snow storm and telling them how nice the Florida weather is. Now the only other time I use it is when I can't find my cell phone and I call the cell phone number to get it to ring. The joy of being old! |

I use Ooma. I kept the landline first because I have had the number for so long and it still gets listed in the phonebook (remember those?!). Second, with multiple people in the household, not all of whom have cell phones, it's convenient to have a single number someone can call to reach anyone. Also, there are a number of people who all I prefer reach me (or leave a message) at home.

https://www.semicron.com/fgd400.html I also occasionally have to send or receive a Fax. There are other ways to accomplish those things today. So I still have both running, since I have them and they are free and still work perfectly. The cottage sitter has come in handy a couple times over the years. I've had the Cottage Sitter (earlier model) since 1986 on a real analog land line and then switched to OOMA when I learned about it. Oh that's how I did a remote Thermostat decades ago. We also like having a common "junk" phone line. Any time anything asks for a phone number we give it the land line, unless we feel it's critical for immediate contact. That way we get less spam calls on cell phones. |
