In fact, Stormin, you might want to port their home number over to
your cell phone service plan and let them give up their land line to

keeping the land line. Step up and be the good son! :-)

Well my mother and stepfather need the land line for 911 service. They
now qualify for the quantity discount on rescue squad visits and
ambulance rides.
