Consolidation...

It took me forever to finally cut my land line off and even when I did, I got a backup cellphone. It kind of made sense at the time, but not really. Since it was Sprint, I converted one number to Google voice and forwarded it to the other.

Finally today I decided to dump the backup. What put me over the edge was a call from my brother. When my phone rings, I've long noticed the pop up window on Google. But when he called last time, I knew I couldn't make it to the bedroom where the phone was so I clicked on the window and BAM, we were talking. DOH.

So now my laptop is my backup phone. I set up the correct number in Google voice and chat and declared the other one done.

The contract for the other one - the Samsung Epic - expires the first week in June. The savings of only one phone will be right at $50 a month. Ending the contract a month early is going to cost me $50. I don't even need to pull out the calculator. The billing cycle just started so I can't do it for a month anyway, so I turned off the Epic and put a 'don't use this phone number this one instead...' on the voice mail.

I feel lighter!

Our internet comes in thru our landline, so we need it. Our only other option here is to get it via cable, which means dealing with the one monopolistic cable provider in the city -- and everyone I know who signed up with them for internet curses the day.
