It will be three years in October since I got rid of my landline phone.
I just decided I wasn't going to pay those taxes anymore. For about
the last year I have had an internet phone from Vonage. It costs me
about $17 a month and the area code for that phone is from the St. Paul,
MN; area(651) so all of our relatives can call us toll free.
Unbelievable how well it works.

How do you contact 911 when the broadband goes out?
