Changes To Our Phone

This isn't a big thing but we decided to try Caller ID with our phone service. We use Cox and of course we couldn't just get one thing, we had to get their package. Their package included voice mail.

Now we have an answering machine and it has been working just fine. The voice mail was part of the Caller ID so we took it. It was so strange to hear the number being announced to us when the phone rang for the first time. For those that already have this feature, I know it is not a big deal. For us though, it is now letting us know when those telemarketers are calling and to not answer that phone. Why did we wait so long?

Now the voice mail has been very strange and a little harder to get use too. We have to actually pick up the phone and listen to see if there is any beeping on the line to let us know there is a call. Sometimes we will get a message saying we have calls but it is not always true. We could be getting that message because we had calls and they are still saved waiting for us to do something with them. Do we delete them or save them? The pressure!!

With all these changes, I had to remake the message. I tried not to have it sound business like but to have it sound pleasant. It is that "California feeling" I guess. So, the next time you call, you may be hearing my voice. Enjoy. Talk with you soon.
