Everything goes thru these %$#@* computers....I HATE this!!! I found a place that sells plain phones that do NOT apparently go thru your computer system....I spoke with the man, he claimed to understand exactly what I was saying, and made it crystal clear that I could buy one of these phones from him and if I had a wall jack that was working, if I plugged this phone into the wall jack, it would work without going thru the computer....we will see.........he said years ago, when Florida had a big storm go thru, all those people thought they would have phone service and they were stunned to find out when their computer systems went down, and the power was off, they had NO PHONES!!! Just those hand held phones that everyone runs around poking and pushing buttons on, running into people because they are not paying attention to where they are going......and when they lost power to THOSE, they were dead in the water!!! So he assured me I could get one of these and plug it into the hole in my wall, and it would work because it does NOT go through the ATT Uverse/computer/TV/telephones.....so we will see! This is all too much tech stuff for an old lady that has NO interest in computers and high tech crap!!! |
