I have Verizon landline before I went to Time Warner cable. They had a
promotion they took it. I had cable for TV and I thought OK I'll try this
promotion from Time Warner phone and see if I like it. I kind of did but I
still thought well maybe at some point I'll go but back to Verizon landline. I
have Verizon for cell phone but this building was built after World War II for
the veterans. Actually this whole complex was built for them. And sell phone
reception well let's not even go there even people that come in like the
visiting nurses the visit you if you have a home care aide they complain about
bad cell phone reception and they claim their Wi-Fi slows down too. So I don't
really know. Plus I won't miss the echo either. But yes I'll be very happy to
go home and let's see what stuff will have to be fixed in the apartment after
they walk around and look. I'm going to see if I can find a sighted person to
look around the apartment and see what needs to be fixed.

Aaahhh, Kathleen, these next three weeks will go fast, I’m sure.
I would certainly think that Panics has Wy-fi available. Verizon is actually
a very good cell phone provider whether you’ve got an I-phone or a flip
phone. Their landline business I’ve never had so can’t tell you of my
experiences, but I can say that Verizon works partially even in our county
hospital which has very thick walls. It’s a building that was built in the
1920’s, and of course then, they were just getting landline telephones
universally. They have a lot of equipment that probably interrupts in-coming
cell calls but I was able to call Paratransit just before my doctor came in
to see me yesterday. Since she came in quickly, I hung up before I could
talk to anyone.
Oh, I’m sure you’ll be ecstatic getting back home!!!! So glad you’ll be back
soonest!!!!

I don't want to web-based account. Panics.com is been out for years and I've
had them for years. And they're not going away anytime soon. Their local New
York City provider and I've liked their support and everything. They treat
their customers well. And I'm glad I have them. As I said the only thing I
want is Wi-Fi when I get home. But I have to check with them and see if they
have it. If they do I'll take it. But I don't want our yahoo account or
anything like that. Panics has DSL I think. And I think they use Verizon is
their pipeline. But hey what can you do about that. I have to find out how
many days it's gonna take me to get a landline through Verizon. Hopefully not
long. But anyway I can't believe these next three weeks are going to go fast
and then I'll be home. And I'll sure be glad. We got a thunderstorm earlier
not a bad one but it came. And I think we really need the rain. But no I do
not want a web-based account. And I want to keep what I have. I don't want to
change my email address and go through all that hassle. Especially with Yahoo
groups since I don't remember what their password is or anything. And they're
not the most accessible site on the planet either. So I'm just gonna leave
things as they are.

Yes, Rosie, exactly. That is why it is preferred to have a web-based account,
just for these situations. When I got an older friend to use the internet
many years ago, I got her a Yahoo mail account which she still uses. She
would use the internet at the library, and this was the best option. She
later got a computer at home, and we eventually got internet at home. She now
has an email address with her ISP, which she never uses, and she also has a
Gmail account, which she also doesn't use. She hasn't learned how to do all
these things yet! I have accounts all over the place, and it takes me about
30 min at least every day to check in to each to see if there is any mail.
And them more time to respond, and so on. But each account is set up for
different types of work. It works for me.
Should your service provider have problems and you get no service, then you
can always fall back on your "free" internet account. Sometimes you can set
it up that you will get your ISP mail delivered to your web-based accounts,
but I haven't figured out how to do that. I think you did a wise thing by
getting a Gmail account. This will work as long as Google still is in
operation! We never know.

Hi, Tallguy,
When I switched to Time Warner, the guy told me it would be better to use
gmail since it has more storage than our roadrunner does. The nice thing
about a gmail, hotmail or yahoo account is that it doesn't matter what
internet provider you have. What I like about gmail is the amount of storage
it has.

If you are going to get internet service from a provider (the ISP), they will
also give you several email addresses. But, obviously, you will have to use
their domain name. That is why you also should have a web-based address that
is accessible through any internet provider, such as Yahoo, Gmail, and many
others. If anyone uses a domain name from their service provider, it is only
valid as long as they are a paid subscriber to that service. When you
terminate your association with that provider, you also terminate your email
address. Keep that in mind.

Well the problem I have with Time Warner is they wanted me to change my
address to a TWC address instead of keeping panics.com. I told them that was
crazy. I told him I didn't want to change my email address I wanted to keep
the same one.
