You guys still have home phones? Weird.

Home phone? Yes.

Weird? Yes.

[BigFatMeanie]

Are you using their pay-per-minute service?

Yup.

As stated, it's a great way to have a functioning number that you can give out when you don't want to give out your mobile.

Home phone? Yes.

Weird? Yes.

Also, not all my kids have cell phones, so it's a nice tool to be able to talk to them if they're home alone and it provides some peace of mind that they can call 911 if needs be.

That’s what Google Home is for. When we cut the home phone cord probably 8-9 years ago, we bought a Magic Jack. I think it was $30 for 3 years of service. After the first year we realized we never used that phone and canceled it.

We ended up porting our home number to a cell phone several years ago for this reason. Our youngest has now inherited our home phone number.

OK, I can see that.

Give me a scenario for that.

We ditched out landline 7-8 years ago. Should have done it sooner.

BTW, the iOS feature where they only pass through calls in your contact list or with whom you have exchanged calls or texts is a game changer. Everybody else goes directly to voice mail.

Can I call the kids on that if I am out of the house?

I already provided one: American Red Cross. You clearly don't have a blood type they value if they haven't hounded you to death, including filling up your voice mail until it overflows.

Here is another: Ward List (phone number in the official directory). Fewer calls and texts from people wanting you to help Brother Jones move next Friday. Especially when you're in India but still have to be on-call in case of server meltdown and the lame call comes through at 3:30 in the morning. Your iOS feature won't stop that. Totally worth the $3.50 a month it costs me. Doesn't matter whether it's a land line or a mobile line or what - I just want a secondary number and $3.50 is a good price.

IOS “Do not disturb” can be used when you’re on call to only let through people on your favorites list. At least all my incident automated calls come from a single number so I can filter out the others at night.

I’m with you on the American Red Cross. They are horrible. I asked them to take me off their contact list.

They won't take my blood, or my wife's either. And for two very different and rather lame issues - in my opinion.

Seems like prudent caution to me.
