Catch Up

I am a bit behind with my blog postings.  First, I am a grandfather as of 7/30/10.  Second, I have not done a radio show in a LONG time.  I will TRY to do one soon, perhaps a holiday show.

I changed my landline phone service to Vonage from Verizon.  It really annoyed me that I had to pay $ 50.00 a month to Verizon when only about $ 6.10 of that was actual phone calls.  Insider wire maintenance, fees, taxes, and $ 10.00/month for CALLER ID.  AND all of this WITHOUT a long distance carrier.

I had enough so I ordered the vonage adapter and did a couple of days worth of testing.  After I was satisfied with the testing, I convinced the wife to agree to the change.  After obtaining her agreement I started the number "port" process that switches my current house phone number from Verizon to Vonage.  The port was completed as scheduled and I now have vonage as my carrier.  I effectively cut my landline phone bill in half.  I use the 17.95 vonage plan with 500 minutes of outbound calling.  With fees and taxes it comes up to about $ 25.00 which is STILL less than Verizon's $ 50.00.  AND I have a TON of features for FREE.  So far I am a HAPPY camper.  Now if I could only do that with cable.

I am doing a few holiday specials this month.  Like a $ 5.00 "health check" for your PC.  And "routine maintenance" for $ 25.00.  All of this can be done remotely as long as you have a high speed (broadband) connection. 

Congratulations to SpaceX for a fanstastic Falcon 9/Dragon mission.  It was great to see it succeed with clockwork precision.  Keep it up!!
