i mean, something simple.
we have internet phone and hubby has a wiring nightmare, apparently our vonage is down or a connection wire, plug or whatever is not connected somewhere. he's away visiting family so its not like he can go figure it out. i don't have my own cell phone anymore.

i checked all the connections i could and didn't see anything wrong, but like i said, the wiring is a mess so i can't make sense of most of it anyway.

is there any way i can get messages to and from his phone online somehow?

i have no way of calling anyone for anything...phones have no dialtone.

i am not happy with this.:tsk

last call i got was 10pm last night and it was him saying he got there.

I know Cingular used to have a free service you could use on their website, but past that I dunno. Maybe AT&T has something similar since the buyout.

With Verizon, you can send an email to your phone by sending it to <your ten digit number>@vzmpix.com
