Ditch the landline? What are the options?

The Powers That Be had better not discontinue my landline because cell phone service inside my house is terrible. Calls often get dropped, and even when they don’t, it’s often hard to hear the other person. I have to stand up against one of the windows in the back of the house to have any chance at all of having a coherent cell phone conversation. Sometimes, when I need to make an important call, I take my cell phone and drive to a different street with better reception, thus turning my car into a phone booth.

Cell phones may have revolutionized society, but at least in some locations, they’re terrible for making actual phone calls.
