In fact I'll        SH> do so today. LOL              My service is not just SMS, it supports MMS which allows        attachments. I did *not* realize that until about year later!                      AA>> ..BUT, I don't want people to think that they can call me        AA>> back on that darn device to ask questions or place        AA>> orders!               SH> Another friend of mine ported his business # to his        SH> cellphone when they first offered the service. He hasn't        SH> had a landline in at least 14 years now. Probably cheaper        SH> to have a second cellphone with your business # on it        SH> anyway.              I recognize the cost advantage over the traditional landline        that I have for the shop. But I'm afraid that I might lose the        phone, (or missplace it or forget it laying around somewhere -        which I've done!)              And.. I don't really like the feeling of constantly being        available "for business" - especially when I would rather have        peace and quiet.              If I just had the phone for biz, I don't know how I would be        able to take notes for the books that people might want -        especially when I *not* around a computer. It seems that I        would have to record every message and play it back or        something.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
