Pat, $8.00 a month, what a bargain. My wife has a old analog phone from 1997 out in the garage. It is larger than current phones, but not as large as the orginal cell phones. I have a early warning system that tells me when I'm going to receive a phone call on my cell phone. The computer speakers make a weird noise and then the cell phone rings.
