Hi Linda, So sorry you are ill. I have a landline and several mobile phones so I can take one into the bathroom (no hook up), and have one beside the bed and one in the den. Landline in kitchen. I am not sick but, I like the security of all the phones, in case I fall or get sick. You just never know. Hope you get better soon. You and I emailed a couple of times, a couple years back. I have Mocks in my family tree on my Dad's side. Get better, and thanks for all you helpful emails to Gen-Newbie.

Why? my illness leaves me weak at times and neighbors are close as phone as it 911 if that bad. All this works off of Verizon single home line. Isn't technology wonderful?
