Terry and I recently switched to a new (cheaper) internet provider. They installed a new FIBE line to replace our old telephone line.
After the technician left, to our consternation, most of our old telephones no longer worked! No dial tone! No ring!
Will I have to throw all our old phones out?! I wondered as I gathered them up and put them into a box in the basement.
The only phones that still worked were two connected to a cordless phone base.
What to do?!
We went out and bought a new base that came with five cordless phones... so that we could have a phone in the basement and upstairs as well as the main floor.
An unexpected advantage of this new base is a button on each phone for blocking numbers! Now whenever I get an offer to clean my ducts or someone telling me that my computer is broken, I simply press the button: BLOCK NUMBER and hang up...
I have noticed that we now get fewer telemarketing calls!
