However, there were some glitches, so it didn't come to pass. Some people have lots of family and friends in another area, so they'll set up a second VoIP line with a number local to that other area so their friends can call them like they were local.Kitten Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15723615036218488946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559789.post-1131664404839765982005-11-10T18:13:00.000-05:002005-11-10T18:13:00.000-05:00Why would you want to pick a phone number in anoth...Why would you want to pick a phone number in another town?
