Forthe last 3 months, because of the vagaries of Vodaphone and Openreach we have had no telecomms at home so I have had to be dependent on my mobile phone.
The problem is I do nto always have it onme or close to me. When i go out I put it in my handbag, and when i return Iput the bag under the stairs, and if the phone rings I do not hear it. Alternatively it is on my desk - and if I am not near my desk, and I often aren't , it rigs and I do not hear it. Ditto whenit is in the car.
I tried putting it in a little bag slung round my neck, but the phone kept resetting itself and one of the things it reset was whether it would ring or not, so it kept turning off sound.
Carrying around in my hand all the time gives me cramp and anyway, I need both hands to do things.
There is nowhere in the house to put my phone where I can hear it all the time, and so many clothes lack pockets.
In our last home we had a VOIP (pretend landline) and that had a loud ring and we had three handsets, all of which rang in different parts of the house.
We have decided not to have fibre to the house, I do not quite understand what we have but it is some wireless gizmo that provides an excellent internet service, but no phone.
So I am utterly perplexed as to what to do to make sure I pick up all my calls.
