The service is not good, but what is unconscionable is their practice of gouging loyal, long standing customers while offering bargain rates and freebies to lure newcomers. Within a couple of days we will jettison the lousy and exorbitant satellite tv service, the Internet and the phone. We will have an antenna for over the air channels and Netflix for a idea choice choice. Total cost: about eight bucks a month. For phone and Internet we re going to teksavvy, a highly rated discounter. I think the total here is about 90 bucks for all the bells and whistles. Right now with bell we ate paying in excess of 250 bucks a month.

With these we have a base phone and then 2 or 3 or however many phones which are all part of the same system. Take care, Pat

Mostly in QC we call them wireless phones, and then there are cell phone. Cordless is a new descriptive word for me.

So far. The picture is vastly superior to the bell satellite version. Total cost: about a hundred bucks a month, vs more than 250 bucks for the bell bundle. We bought a new Smart TV. Paradise .

Take care, Pat To interface from a land line to cordless phones the BASE STATION/CHARGER/ANSWERING MACHINE is usually plugged into a phone jack. Other cordless phones are usually kept in a CHARGER! It seems that Darcie plugs her base unit into her Fido unit rather than the phone jack! The Fido unit is of course WIRELESSLY connected to the CELL PHONE NETWORK! Now its conceivable that a Blue Tooth headset can be used in conjunction with this setup also. The headset is wireless also! OMG, I'm starting to wish for the good old wired days! :cow-IthinkIamgoingmad:

There is absolutely no phone jack involved either in the cordless phone or the Fido unit. Thus it is a wireless home phone.
