Phew! Mission accomplished!
You would not believe how long it has taken me to track down one new telephone - plus I have been treated as though I were the last person on the planet to still use a land line! ( I am not - am I?)Foolishly - I dropped my phone yester morn and, although it still rings and has a dialing tone, it does not now connect with anything but white noise. This morning I set off happily - well, actually it was grumpily because it was raining - hot foot to Asda to buy a new one. They told me they only sell cell phones now. Caught a bus to the other side of town to Tesco - nothing doing there. Went into town centre - at least 35 shops selling cell phones - not a land line in sight!
Even more grumpy - not to mention soaking wet - caught a bus to PC World - they had one or two - but not what I was looking for - another bus - back to Monks Cross (where I first started) and in to Sainsbury's - they now have Argos in store - found exactly what I wanted there.
I am now the proud owner of a new Panasonic cordless telephone. As soon as I am dry - and on the other side of a plate of bangers and mash - I will start the fun game known as 'transferring numbers' from old to new phone.
Forgot - it has to charge up before I can do anything with it!
Don't know how I stand the excitement!

Re: Phew! Mission accomplished!
ST, You have had a palaver to get a landline telephone!
I got my quad pack Panasonic cordless telephones with answerphone, online from Costco last year for £44.89.
I have them in various rooms in the house but l still haven’t learned all the different features available on them!!

Re: Phew! Mission accomplished!
I love my landline and still have one that you have to stay in one place to use, owing to the cord attached to it. I also gave a cordless one with one phone upstairs and one downstairs.You can all laugh, but when I have a power cut the corded one is the only one that works!
My mobile seems to spend more time being charged, than used, and it is less than 2 years old. I just want a phone, not a mobile computer, and I only use it for emergency calls when I am out!

Re: Phew! Mission accomplished!
I still have a landline and refuse to have a cordless phone. I think the last phone cost about £15.We get a lot of power cuts here sometimes caused by squirrel activity, mobile reception is not to be relied on and I need contact with the outside world for health reasons and get that with a telephone connected to the phone line.
