Do You Still Need A Home Phone Line?


Today, you have several options, not just the one offered by your local telephone company.

1. Cell Phones.
Many of us are electing to give up our home land line and just use our cell phones. If you spend a lot of time chatting on the phone this is probably not a good option for you.

2. Time Warner offers a low-cost “Digital Phone”
I have this option and I like it – most of the time. Just like having a home line with electric-powered cordless phones, should there be a power outage, the digital phones as well as the home cordless phones do not work. Should you have an emergency you will need to dial 9-1-1 with your cell phone.

What I love about it is - I have the ability to call anywhere in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and talk all day for my basic monthly fee – NO LONG DISTANCE CHARGES! You can also keep your current phone number and your existing phone… there is nothing to buy. Also INCLUDED at no additional charge – Caller ID, Call Waiting, Speed Dial, Call Forwarding.

If you have Time Warner Cable and Digital Phone - Caller ID can show up on your TV set so you don’t even have to get up to answer the phone if it’s not an important call.

Time Warner does bundle services together for a cost savings. For more information, check with Time Warner.

3. SKYPE – through the internet

This is an option that is very popular with military families and people with friends and family in other parts of the world. Skype software is free and it is FREE to use Skype if you and the person you are talking to are both on Skype – you can call, video call or instant message each other TOTALLY FREE.
Skype Advertises Great Rate to Phones (both land lines and mobile phones) - You can even get an online number (SkypeIn™) is perfect if you have friends, family or business colleagues who don't use Skype. Anyone can dial your online number from any phone or mobile and hey presto, your Skype rings and you pick up the call – wherever you are in the world.

No emergency calls with Skype. - Skype is not a replacement for your ordinary telephone and can't be used for emergency calling. For more information see skype.com
