Magic Jack works great. I still have my phone number of 20+ years, and it?s cheap. From: Discuss on behalf of Daniel Barrett Reply-To: Daniel Barrett Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at 3:01 PM To: "discuss at blu.org" Cc: Daniel Barrett Subject: [Discuss] AT&T eliminating copper phone lines AT&T is finally eliminating its copper phone lines in my area. (I recall Tom Metro starting a BLU discussion when Verizon did the same thing in 2013.) The alternatives for a home landline now seem to be: 1. Let AT&T replace my copper with a fiber optic line. (Con: Expensive service, $100/month.) 2. Add phone service to my existing Verizon FIOS Internet plan. (Con: I lose my phone number of 25 years.) 3. Switch to Vonage. (Con: Might not work with an alarm system.) 4. Eliminate the landline. (Con: Screws the alarm system, and cellphone voice quality is too poor for my damaged hearing.) Am I missing any better options? -- Dan Barrett dbarrett at blazemonger.com _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss at blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
