Good! What took them so long? A bunch of dumb sh!ts running policy since this has been going on for years and the cluebats didn't have a clue.

Also, there's no law as far as I know preventing you from driving and writing a letter to grandma, longhand. :D

I'm all in favor of handwriting lessons in prison. Keep 'em busy learning some literacy. (y) ;-)

Fair enough.

Lets have one day a week where disabled or elderly persons cannot call in emergencies.

It is so selfish of them to expect 24/7 day service especially if they they fall.

PS Sarcasm for avoidance of doubt lol.

After seeing the complaints, disorientation and sheer panic shown by people here in Australia if one of our major telcos has even a one hour outage I'm pretty sure that would be the end of civilization as we know it. :LOL:

This is where humanity and technology clash.
I know lots of elderly folks who don't have a communication device of any sort, whatsoever..., they're well taken care of.
