Land Line Phones - Santee, CA

Ruthi needed to have some documents faxed. So, she went to the Park office and had them fax them to our own fax number (on the computer). She had forgotten her phone (on which she gets a text when the faxed is successfully received) so she needed to call Boots back at the RV (where Ruthi’s phone was charging).. Ruthi asked if she could use the Park landline to make the call. She remembered to ask if she needed to dial “9” for an outside line. After a couple of unsuccessful tries, Ruthi checked with the clerk and was reminded that she needed to put “1” in front of the long distance cell number. How quickly we forget. We haven’t had/used a land line since we left Alaska in 2008. The cell phone is so so so much easier – just select your contact and push call. If a “1” is needed it is automatically inserted and the call goes through, no minute calculations, no long distance charge, etc. etc. etc.
