Tell them you do not want a long distance carrier so that you do not get dinged with the PICC (Verizon).

Get an old fashioned plug in phone and it will work when the power is out.


Great advice, something I've been forgetting to look into in my new place :mrgreen:

If so, maybe you could have had the dispatcher instruct and officer to come to the rear window, and you could hand the keys out to him/her so they could let themselves in the front door while you stayed out of the way in the bedroom.

Just a thought...


I read someone recommending that.


Thinking ahead enough, you could draw up a diagram of the house, have it laminated and attach it to a key to the front door and a Cyalume lightstick so it's easy to toss (added weight) and find outside.
