(14,255 posts)I have a land line and a magic jack and Skype. I don't leave Skype on unless I am going to need to use it, and I don't encourage instant messaging of any kind.
I may get a cheap prepaid phone for emergencies while driving at some point, but - since I don't run a business over the phone, of course - I do not want to be immediately accessible to everyone and anyone. I also am mostly at home
I don't need to be "connected" all the time. When I did have a cell phone, I mostly got calls asking me to pick stuff up or whatever.
The thing about phones in general is that a lot of times I am paying so other people can have the privilege of interrupting me.
My grandson is partially deaf. He doesn't wear his hearing aids all the time because he thinks the world is too noisy. I can see what he means!
