 Well if it works for you go for it.  It would not work that way for
 me, but what works for me very seldom works for someone else or
 vice versa.
 I carry a mini tape recorder with me and logg every call (not the
 conversation but the time and place etc) on it as I have to
 separate personal calls from business calls so my employer can
 reimburse me for his share of the calls.  This will allow me to see
 if there are any calls that are not mine.  My service provider has
 told me if I get any calls that are not mine to let them know and
 it will be taken care of.  In the 4 or 5 years I have had the phone
 I have never had any that were not mine.  I live in southern
 Michigan and have had the phone in a most of the states east of the
 Mississippi except the New England states plus Hawaii and I place
 and receive calls as needed.
