[Electronics-talk] Land Phones

[Frida Aizenman]

My cousin said she wants to give me the phones as a gift. She is always 
very generous. I sent her your email, and now, it is in her hands. Don't 
know what she is going to do. She did ask if I need conferencing calling 
and forwarding calls. I said those services come from U Verse, and so 
far I have not used the forwarding feature.

I am a little confused, but I will learn.
