Like having an email account for all of our phone calls, voicemails, and text messages. Awesome.
I rather enjoy not being connected to the world once I go home - no answering machine...no cell service. I think it would drive me nuts to be able to connect all my phones! I do, however, have the voice to text function on my cell phone. It's quite funny, too, since I get a lot of voicemails about vehicles - but it's all in code - so it's entertaining to see how the person typing out the message translates it. And they have a real hard to=ime with "Bozeman". Oh yeah, speaking of not being connected at home - we're getting internet at home finally!
