We got new and much faster internet service to the office last Friday and we changed the phone service as well.

We decided not to transfer the old phone number over merely because the old number was being bombarded with SPAM phone calls. The new number is (763) 267-7800. Our 24/7/365 number of (952) 393-4251 will stay the same.

This does make me wonder… with Skype, email, teleconferencing, forums and instant messaging, could we be seeing the beginning of the end of land-line phone service? I’ve already removed the land-line from my house in favor of my iPhone. Could removing the land-line from the office be far behind?

We’ll see. For now, the land-line still provides us with the clearest, glitch and echo free communication option. Plus the phone system we have has an outstanding speaker phone that doesn’t sound at all like you’re on a speaker phone. The same phone system allows for simple transfer of calls.

There’s no doubt the iPhone has gotten better – but it’s not there yet for those three very basic features.
