CS> CS>> Many folks do the same as you and your wife.  Emergency only.  Most
CS> JE> young
CS> CS>> people, however, no longer have a wired phone at home.  Their cell
CS> JE> phone is
CS> CS>> primary for everything.

CS> JE> Not many that I know or associate with reserve the cell phone basically
CS> JE> for emergency use. Very few do NOT have wired - how would they use the
CS> JE> internet without a telephone connection? My 2nd oldest grandson lives
in
CS> JE> an apartment, has a cell, and internet connection thus a phone line
even
CS> JE> though he doesn't use the dial up phone and relies upon his cell.

CS>Verizon and AT&T both will gladly run a line for internet only.  They do it
all
CS>the time.  Phone line for wired phone is not necessary.  Besides, with
Verizon
CS>FIOS the only thing that's needed is the fiber connection.


CS>How about a cable connection?  You don't need a phone line for that either.

At the rates for cable her, no you do not ned a phone line - just deep
pockets!

CS> JE> Take us for example. We still have a phone mostly for the internet
CS> JE> usage, but still use the dial phone some. For the most part I rely upon
CS> JE> my cell - my wife, even tho she has a cell, still uses our dial phone
CS> JE> locally, and the cell for calling relatives out of town.

CS>We still have our wired metro line which we do use occasionally.  I've
thought
CS>about going wireless or use an internet phone provider.  AT&T and Verizon
offer
CS>a very nice internet phone package along with their other services.

CS> CS>> Ours is a must since we use it for ministry purposes.  The local phone
CS> CS>> companies (AT&T or Verizon) will charge a premium fee if we install a
CS> JE> wired
CS> CS>> phone at the ministry location.  They consider the storefront we are
CS> JE> leasing to
CS> CS>> be a "business".  Never mind that we are non profit in accordance
CS> JE> with federal
CS> CS>> and state laws.

CS> JE> Then I take it that your ministry office does not have an internet
CS> JE> connection.

CS>Our ministry office here in the DFW area is in my home while the main office
is
CS>at Killeen.  We use dial up when at Killeen.  The only ISP available at
Killeen
CS>is Sprint. :(

CS>Regards.
