Well, I'm kinda old fashioned, too. My husband wants to ditch the land line, but I won't let him because of 911. We have voip through Comcast (used to have Vonage, but it got increasingly worse over the past 3 years). We have 2 hard wired phones and 3 wireless ones in the house.
I have a cell phone, but I only put it on when I go out in the car and I leave it on at work, since as a teacher, I cannot easily get to a regular phone. I want people to call me on my home phone, not on my cell, unless it's really important. I don't want to be bothered when I am out, like not even hear the phone ring or vibrate. I consider the cell phone a safety thing, but I don't go around checking it every second or looking at it in my hand like some people. I don't even have a camera on my phone and I had to really convince the guy at the Sprint store that i didn't need one! I mean, I don't even take pictures with my camera.
I do bring my phone on my rides, but I only put it on when we are leading a ride; once I had it off and my husband tried to call me because I hadn't showed up at a stopping point. I was the sweep and I was with someone who was having leg cramps. Everyone was waiting for me and I would have been able to communicate more easily if my phone had been on!
All this technology stuff gets on my nerves. I can't remember how anything works and I feel like there's hardly anything in my house that I can easily use.
