Re: Re: Life After ADSL!!!
I realized this after I had BH installed - quickly switched my primary
analog
number over to be the primary digital. Then bought a Siemens ISDN DECT
unit from Germany. I can make a call while on the internet and even better
-
when I'm on the phone (but not the PC) and someone calls my number, the
other phones in the house ring and I get a call waiting signal. This means
I
can be browsing the internet and the other half can still receive calls.
The
Siemens unit has a connection to a PC - have not tried that part yet. I
now have 2 MSN's so I can try to get different voice messages for home
and work calls etc.
I too want ADSL, but I also want to keep the current phone setup - could
be expensive.
