Trying to decide what telecoms are good or bad is almost really the same as choosing your sdsl internet, both are normally a pain. I am hoping that if I cancel my business cell phone I will be able to get a better deal on my internet by trying to do the bundling services stuff that they offer. That would be a good deal, I think. I could then just go ahead and forward the business phone and not worry about carrying around two phones all the time. I know that might make me seem less important, only actually carrying one phone but I will be happier, as I am lazy and carrying the extra weight makes me want to take more naps.
Phone problems again. Looks like I will be cancelling my business phone. I called the company to see if they could merge my accounts, but they were unable to do so. They told me they could, but instead they ended up unmerging the two accounts I already had merged, basically driving up my payment by about half. I was fairly unhappy to hear about that, more irritated than unhappy. I am thinking about doing the BT thing, maybe cancelling the business phone and going with a regular land line. See if I can get any discounts for that. I know it will cost me a bit up front but in the long run, actually after the first three months it will be saving me money to do it that way. The BT home phones might be a good deal, but if not there are other choices out there, depending on where you live. I think any home telephone system will be much better than keeping the cell line and paying extra for it. If they aren’t able to consolidate then I will just go ahead and drop it. Probably the smart thing to do anyway.

I decided to stick with the guys or gals I am currently with as far as telecoms companies. Not for any particular reason other than it is easy and as you know if you read the post before I tend towards lazy. I blame my parents. (Let’s not tell them that though, ok). Anyway, it made sense as I am happy with who I am with as far as my personal lines, and I have been with them for several years so it seems like a good idea to just go with them for a business line as well. At least I know for sure how they do business.
I still like cell phones better even than the cordless home ones. I have been looking at a couple, like Panasonic KX phones but nothing that would change my mind. Now if they had a home phone that was say like Star Trek type where it almost comes out of thin air anywhere in your house, I could probably go for that. Otherwise to be honest I don’t think I see the point. At least not for me, but I am sure that there are a lot of people and businesses out there that would be happy to have the home phones, cordless or otherwise. I think the biggest advantage of having a home phone would be to have it at home and not to be there to answer it. Just let your machine get it, of course, an even better strategy would be to have a home phone and not to have an answering machine or service. Then you could just say, “uh, no, sorry, didn’t get your call. Did you leave a message? Oh, yeah, forgot.” Might be fun, though most would ask why you don’t just forward your calls, but you could plead phone ignorance. I am over that point myself, anymore I just don’t answer and if somebody ask I tend to just tell them why.
