Today my husband cancelled vonage. This was in order to save $30 / month. After he emailed me to let me know he cancelled it, I panicked. I am panicking now. What will this mean? And reinstating the land line isn’t going to resolve my panick. Why not? I also loved my telephone number: 330-0660. When are you given a number as good and memorable as that?
So I thought it might be helpful to record my thoughts, emotions, and experiences as we adapt for the first time to a completely mobile telecommunication.
In addition to the loss of the number, I was originally anxious about what the switch to individual mobile numbers might do to the relationship with our in-laws. Would my in-laws and I stop speaking, as they naturally deferred to my husband’s cell number? My 5-year old son has just learned to answer the telephone himself. Will he answer our cell phones now? I just called my 85 year old grandmother to get her to update her address book with our cell numbers only. What will happen the first time she gets that terrible, harassing noise that says our former number is out of order?
My nerves are already shot. Will I be able to adapt? Or will the $30/month not be worth the hbp?
