I suspect most people under 40 have no idea how crystal clear pure landline systems were and how much that sound clarity enhanced quality communication.

I spend much of my day on the telephone, and find it truly exhausting to struggle with choppy sound, echoes, static, etc.

As a matter of courtesy to your conversants, if nothing else, spring for the extra bucks to make it easy on them to hear what you are saying.

But I’ve tried it a few times, and sounds fine for me but the echo is usually really bad on the other end.

We also *need* to replace our portable phone asap, so I’ve been thinking of getting a Skype/landline combination (so far only looked at Skype’s offerings). Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they good? Bad?

We have to do something because our Skpe situation sounds like crap.
