- I decided not to pay extra for DTMF dialing, so the phone company has
- it blocked on my line. I've found a use for this setup: I've got a
- regular trimline phone, and a cordless, both switchable. I use the
- regular phone for placing calls; I only want the cordless for
- receiving them. Living in an apartment in NYC it seems quite possible
- that someone within range would have a compatible phone -- but by
- switching the base unit of the cordless to tone dialing, I can make
- the cordless phone effectively incoming-only, so nobody else can use
- their cordless handset to place calls on my phone line.
