Hi John,
I'm in your shoes!
I'd love to have only the cell phone as my home phone, too, but all this steel and concrete in this building, my cell phone doesn't work at all in here.
Trippy, ac8s

A good UPS will fix the power outage issue unless it's for a few days but
then most have phone through the cable company or the fios like I have and
you run in to the same thing with those. I don't know anyone, well, let me
take that back, I only know one person with the old style phone system
through a phone company around here. There may be more, but not many, in
fact we can't even find a trace of the box or anything on my house, I don't
know how long it's been gone but even the people putting in the fios asked
me where it was and I told them I haven't found one or any trace of one. I
find the phone to be an annoyance, if I didn't get so many calls from past
people's bill collectors, telemarketers even on the do not call list, and
all that I might actually not find it the annoyance it is but if it wasn't
for having a kid around and horrible cell coverage, we wouldn't even have
home phone at all. In fact, if it wasn't for the baby, we wouldn't have it
but we need a reliable way, especially when he gets to school age and stuff
for them to get us so I guess we're stuck with it.
