RANT - this is a RANT! Be warned!
When I was in SC in janusry there were 2 afternoons/evenings that all I got was a busy signal for hours. When I finally got through the first time it happened, DH assured me he had not been on the phone and that it had not rung all day. When it happened the second day at the same time (I had gotten him earlier in the day each time) I had my City Manager try to call with the same result and she even sent the Police over to check on him. Today I was at a meeting and tried to call - busy every time I tried. Get home and there is no dial tone. DH tells me there has been no dial tone all day. HE was blaming our phone (even showed me how he had thrown the phone in disgust - as if that helped the phone or anything else!). We have had days when he remarked at how quiet the phone had been - no dead air, no yel low pa ge s, no telemar keters, NO RESERVATIONS! Now I am wondering how much of my "dry spell" is duw to the phone being unreliable.
They are supposed to send out a technician tomorrow. How much do we want to bet he finds no problem. BTW - the intercom portion of the phone is working AND I disconnected the phone line from the machine that fed into one of the charging units and plugged in the corded phone that I left in the kitchen (it made a good bookend for my cookbooks) and all I got was staticy sound. I am totally and completely disgusted that a service I pay through the nose for is having these problems. I have a splitter on the line and the Internet is working - but the phone is not! GRRRRRR!!!!!
