Thanks for including my post! Some great tips here I can review.
We switched to only using cell phones when we moved. It has worked well. Dh’s phone is paid by work so we only have to pay for my service.
Thanks for the link! I too switched to just cell phones when I moved from New Mexico. I never used my home phone so it seemed a waste of $ to keep it. That Chocolate Bytes post is way overpriced but so worth a look I love it. And I’ll have to check out the beer battery because that sounds insane; but kind of cool.
Thanks Deb! Just a cell phone user here too! What is a home phone anyway? Like ET phone home?
Great list.
GREAT LINKS !
Thanks so much.
