do you have extra features on your phone?
Here we only have long distance and nothing like call waiting, etc.

No long distance, no anything extra here. Hubby wishes we didn't have a phone at all.

Just a long distance plan because both my mom and one of our sons lives in BC. Otherwise we have nothing else.

only long distance here no call waiting or caller ID, my mom has both caller ID and call waiting but if you call her house and some one is on the phone they don't click over and take the incoming call duh isn't that the whole purpose of having it ** any way I think its a waste of money in her case.

We have call waiting, caller I.D. and long distance. My cell phone doesn't have nationwide long distance but I can call both of my dd's as they are both in the extended home area for free. So I use my long distance to call ds but have a great package on my phone with all the above and .07/minute long distance. I also have a sam's club phone card that I use if I know it's going to be an extended phone call.

Long distance which is standard on our phones and we also have a thing called '101' which is a free message service. We have an answering machine, but if you are using the phone when a call comes in the caller can leave a message and you can check later!
We used to have 'Call waiting' instead but it drove us mad when we were in the middle of a conversation!

I have caller id and call waiting which I get free with my phone co. Use Sam's long distance calling card. Use my daughters cell phone more often after 9pm on week-ends because your minutes are free. Renee
