A new telephone

The telephone I had, wasn’t working well and I have known for awhile I’ve needed a new one. I wanted to get one with two handsets so I didn’t have to keep the phone off the charger when I wanted it near me. Unfortunately we only have two phone jacks in this house, and one doesn’t work. I was told by the telephone company that I would have to pay at least 400.00 (this may not include labor) to get it fixed. I personally have never heard of such a thing, paying THAT much just to fix a phone jack, but this is what I was told by our little local telephone company.

Delaying buying a new telephone wasn’t an option as of last night, when the older one got totally demolished. I’m not going to go into how, but lets just say…I’ve got a kid that is grounded for life. Anyway, my husband went out and got a new telephone. I have to say, being techno challenged, it is going to take some time for me to figure this one out. All the buttons it has on the phone and answering machine, look like it is a control panel for NASA use.

While talking to my daughter, I accidentally hit a button that turned out to be speaker phone and nearly dropped the phone because it freaked me out. My oldest son is the one who hooked up and set all the buttons on this thing…I have to find the manual he put someplace and read it well.
