One reporter's opinion. |
I wonder if you could iterate, for me, some of those features that I would be missing, that would make it worth signing up for?
I can think of several local friends of mine and my doctor, my dentist, my lawyer, my banker and my insurance agent that would occasionally like to call me using their local line. Right now, since I can't use MJ or GV, they must call my cell phone. If I switched everything over to GV, and my area code is NOT available (like it isn't); then all of those folks would need to make a long distance call to contact me. And, I can't see any of them wanting to do that.
What am I missing here? |
No one is here to convince you of anything. If you decide something that is free, and does offer features and convenience, is not worth signing up for, so be it.
The point is, that local calling plans, and (POTS) landlines in general, are going away relatively soon. Most people already don't worry about "toll" calls anymore, because they have a calling plan or cell phone that lets them call for free. VOIP, bundles with FIOS and cable, etc. are also contributing to making the term "domestic long distance" obsolete.
If you have a few cowboy friends stuck with a classic overpriced landline, and no cell, then that is unfortunate. I would not worry about your doctor, and lawyers, and such; they are big boys, and are used to making such calls for their businesses. |
 ....I couldn't think of any features either.

| I started to send up a troll alert when I read some of his (Ted Groves) posts but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. Silly me. |
