I think many customers have nostalgic feelings toward AT&T. Even when
thinking about the big ol' monopoly. The problem of course is that after the
phone company was broken into the Regional Bells many of the bells had
horrible service in comparison with what AT&T used to provide. Even worse
most persons didn't have a choice for local service but to use their now
castrated local Bell company. (I personally remember horrible experiences
with Bell Atlantic when we used to have decent service with AT&T.) I don't
remember the bill going down after the break-up either. (Other than for Long
Distance and phone rental fees).

That would be because they're designed to hang down on one side only.
Put the shorter one in your ear, then loop the other one around the
back of your neck to your other ear.

LOL!

I thought you were going to tell me to wrap the 20" cord around my neck and
jump!

Thanks for the tips.
