Any suggestions/recommendations/ gratefully received.
Personally don't understand your hubbies attitude - it was OK when mobiles were expensive to run but nowadays they cost peanuts. Better to ditch the landline or get VOIP and use the mobile as your only phone because it is much cheaper and it goes where you go.
I am amazed at the number of seniors at my club who pay over $50 a month for their land line and a mobile phone 'just for emergencies'. They could get a mobile phone for $39.95 a month with unlimited calls and unlimited texts as well as 4Gb of Internet access. Makes no sense at all. It is even more absurd now that the NBN is coming.
For me my phone is also my shopping list, my calendar, my appointments book, my email, my street directory, my GPS, my alarm clock, my camera, my ferry, bus and train timetable, TV Guide, weather forecaster and much more. Wouldn't leave home with out it
