So, Now What?

Eight Hundred

Not that often that you hear people referring to toll free numbers anymore. I'm guessing that that is because of cell phones. Most people still have to pay for the minutes even if the call isn't long distance or tolled.

I often try to remember that when I am at work and need to make a call. It's easy to just grab my cell phone but if the number is an 800 number then it is easier to use my office phone and save the minutes. Given that we are on a low minute budget, every little bit helps.

I wonder how long it will be until no one has a land line phone? I have one right now but only because cable internet isn't an option where I live and I wanted dsl. I looked into satellite internet but it is way too much money for the limited bandwidth they offer. Of course they can afford to charge that much because the majority of their customers have no choice but to use them. That has to stink.
