Land Phones

Who was the woman whose voice was used for auto-responses like "the line is busy"? Wasn't she an actress?

I know this has been asked before, but I have some additional information that may need to have some answers justified.

First of all, I am wondering if I can cancel my phone service and use the AT&T DSL (same provider for phone and Internet) without the phone service? I do not trust with the company says because I believe they are just trying to keep me a customer and get my money for services I hardly use.

I want to cancel my phone service and get VOIP instead, since it's pratically cheaper that the phone service regularly.

BTW, currently, we have an unpaid account and it's disconnected with the typical busy signal on the line and my DSL service still works, nevertheless.

All I can hope if I do cancel it is that they don't come down here and completely disconnect the line from the system.. :/

Thanks!

Since July I have been told by customer care reps at Talk America/Cavelier Telephone company that they will disconnect my land line per my request. I paid the bill up 'till the expected disconnect date. It is now September...no one is using the line but it is still on and I am still getting telephone bills. How can I make it stop ? I thought it should be easy to get your telephone line disconnected...but I'm actually getting the run around. I don't want the unpaid bills to mess up my credit.

I came home today and played a message on my answering machine saying "Hi Tom, this is Yolanda at 1-800-XXX-XXXX I'm at extension ABC...please call me." Well Tom is my father in law who has never lived at my house but I call the number ready to give out his cell phone number thinking its another collections call for him. It bounced me to a phone sex line! My number is unlisted, and my father in law doesn't know my home phone number because we have constant problems with bill collectors calling for him, but my question is how the hell did a phone sex operator get my number looking for him?

If you're on your cordless phone in your home? I've heard that its possible for neighbors with baby monitors to do this to their neighbors, and I wouldn't think this would work, unless my cordless phone acts as a monitor.

On a calculator, from left to right, numbers start from the top right corner at 9 and descend numerically leftward. On a phone (modern land line or cell phone), the numbers, from right to left, start from the top left corner at 1. Why did people make it like that? ***The funniest thing about it is that 0 is always on the bottom.

When I try to dial out all I get is static and no ring tone. When the phone is in this state, I can't recieve incoming calls either. When I test the line - (or get BT to do it ) there's a ringing tone and then the BT answer service kicks in. My internet works some time - like now, and not others. When I can make out going calls - the line is terrible - really crackley. I have those micro filter things in both the phone and the BT Home hub. I have used a cordless and normal phone in both the phone sockets in the past and they have worked. Tonight things have come to a head as I can't get a dial tone only static on the corless and the normal doesn't even get a dial tone.

Has anyone got any suggestions? I've been through what it says in the phone book which wasn't much use as my main socket doesn't have a test socket behind the face plate.

Has anyone got any suggestions? If BT come out & find the problem is my hand set I have to pay them £116. I'd be grateful for any suggestions!

The device I'm referring to is typically found in a homes' basement. It allows you to "branch" off to several phone jacks. The one I currently have came with the house 50+ years ago. I'd like to replace it.
