Never thought that I would miss a home phone. To be honest, not much call for them anymore because 99% of everyone has cell phones and that is what everyone around here uses, but of course there is that 1% of the time you actually need a land line.

Faxes.

I know most people now use e-mail to receive files and such, but when you are applying for jobs a lot of the process is done via fax as well. When you don't have a land line its a pain in the ass to take your laptop down to either someones house or the papers to the library and have them fax it.

But, I of course have found a way around that without tampering with my iPhone. There is an APP called "filesanywhere" and of course their website is www.filesanywhere.com. It enables you to upload files that you want to share with people (any type) and has a function to allow email or fax both from their website and the iPhone. Pretty nifty. There are paid parts as well, but the basics are free which is all I or anyone really needs. I did a test fax to my sisters office and it came up with a 214 area code and I got a message that it sent successfully, yet it was not a fax machine I sent it to, so that could be a draw back, but hey, it's free and it works.
