So one contract would provide you with a phone service as well as internet and TV. Our supplier also allows us all UK phone calls for FREE. Much cheaper than calling someone on a cell-phone.<br /><br />God bless, Mariette.

Who has still a landline?!<br />Times have changed, more convenient and easy contact via video or by phone but not all is BETTER!<br />Wish that some of my six younger siblings would have provided my Parents with an iPad or whatever for making visual contact with them... Sad fact but nope. Mom passed away end of January, 2015 and I called her many times while she had dialysis, to make the long time pass faster. She was so happy.<br />Dad passed away end of June, 2019. Things could have been a lot better but we always kept up our mostly one-way communication. <br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-53166010000606171662020-09-01T12:44:11.393-07:002020-09-01T12:44:11.393-07:00If I'm in a good mood, I engage in conversatio...If I'm in a good mood, I engage in conversation, (like above), with the sales people.<br /><br />God bless, Bill.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-77679492818172016482020-09-01T12:42:53.892-07:002020-09-01T12:42:53.892-07:00How do you get on the internet, Martha?

Or do you use the cellphone direct to the internet?<br /><br />Here at home we have a land-line provider who also provides the Internet link via a modem. The modem uses wi-fi so any computer anywhere in the house, including the TV, gets the signal. So I could be working on the internet on the computer in one room whilst someone is watching TV in another i.e. download from a TV channel.<br /><br />The advantage with this is that the phone/internet provider allows us all telephone calls in the UK for FREE. Which is far cheaper than making a call on my cell-phone. That's why I've kept the land-line at home and use the cell phone when I'm out travelling.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-6348275815874327952020-09-01T12:19:36.833-07:002020-09-01T12:19:36.833-07:00I always hang up on those sales people when they c...I always hang up on those sales people when they called.
