No, it wouldn't. You would have to give out your "Computer Designated" phone number, which I do not do! I really don't see how you can have four adults living in the same house and only have one phone, especially when you have a computer with internet access. This, of course, is only my opinion. I have got to confess to all concerned that we had a telephone bill for £240 last summer. Don made threats and I changed my internet arrangements but it didn't really work, and the next telephone bill was still £170. I change the arrangements to Anytime, and this quarter's phone bill was £117, which is quite good considering I have a daughter in Edinburgh, and family and friends in Canada whom I ring quite regularly. On top of this £177 I also have to pay the £14.95 out of my credit card for the Anytime. The above is just our phone bill. For this phone bill charge of £117, I have two telephones with different numbers. I get all my evening and week-end LOCAL calls free. I have some sort of a package with BT for things like Friends and Family. Will go into more detail if people wish. I am just going to telephone my brother, who has left me a message saying he will have to do without his telephone because he can't afford the bills, but he takes no care about how he uses the phone - long story.
