Yeah, you can get a phone like mine from Tandy....Radio Shack... In my case, I have 5, I think...perhaps 6....., land lines. So wasting one does not bust up my life. What busts me up is when these people call me during the trading day to sell me stuff. Then when I call them they aren't available. I actually hung some company up for a weekend once....I was in my glory when they called about that!!! An entire weekend! They were dunning me for 11 bucks! Never heard from them again. I must have cost them 200 at least, I had that call on from Midnight Friday to Midnight Sunday. Don't ever believe that someone of Irish descent will forget or forgive a slight. That goes for DBC as well. I had them for awhile. If they answered the phone to solve a problem they wouldn't have the problem. Believe me, when my data goes down and I'm worried about a trade there isn't any amount of money that DBC or anyone else is going to complain to me about when I'm paying several hundred a month while I have a trade on that could lose me a thousand or more in moments.....so if their feed does not work then I do not care what they think about my call pattern. I can use a lot of other services for less money. They should have more techs on-line....tell them that. The phone bill is secondary.
