POTS is dead

2007-04-13 15:51:09.464711+02 by meuon 0 comments

I disconnected our POTS line today.. All we got were calls from telemarketers at that number anymore. POTS: Plain Old Telephone Service. It's an incredibly apropos name. Partially because I recently upgraded to a Q, which, even though it's running WinMobile, has been a great phone for the past week+. the voice quality/clarity is incredible. It also becomes a mobile 'net connection for my laptop (Under WinXP) which I've actually used a few times. As a handheld occasional web browser, it's pretty decent as well. for mobile e-mail, it's been great. So the money I was paying BellSouth for a POTS line few humans we cared about used, became a mobile 'net connection and much better phone. Need to call me: 423-605-6943
