I do know no one around here cares about that. My phones have had a hum for 
years and when I call verizon, they won't fix it stating "wait for the 
upgrades we don't have enough people that can work with the older style 
equipment to fix that and they might even make it worse". They did fix it 
for a day once but it's back now, that's why I don't use that line at all 
anymore, I have my own line which is a like through Voicewing, a competitor 
to vonage though I had vonage for a while and both are good. I keep telling 
the rest of the family they should get rid of that house line but so far, no 
good, no one ever uses it though. We all have cell phones too though there 
again, I'm thinking about getting a newer one if I can find one that will 
run mobile speak or talx or something I can manage the address book in 
that's smaller than what I have now. that's a little way off I think though.
