I also dont miss all the people calling and often wasting a full hour

each and every day. *But no more!

I dont miss the phone at all, in fact I never want to see another
phone in or near my home. *

I only have one concern. *If my house was to start on fire, who or
where do I send an email for help?

You can get a prepaid trackphone at Walmart real cheap.
Any old cell phone somebody throws away can be used to call 911 without
any subscription.
