Tracfone is only $20 for three months (~140 minutes if you use the promo code), and that includes coverage over the entire US as well as voice mail.

I carry my cell phone in my pocket, even when in the back yard. Seems like in this wonderful world of technology, someone should have a doorbell "app" that would dial your phone

I have a TracFone, had it for many years. In fact when they went digital, they sent me a free digital model to replace my analog TracFone. My pager is always with me and much smaller than my cellphone, besides, I've been carrying a pager since the mid 1970's and I've been with the same pager company since 1984. I've had the same pager number for 23 years and people who haven't spoken with me for years have called me to do business because they still have my number from long ago. I'm not listed in any directory and don't advertise, it's all word of mouth and I like it that way. Oh yea, I get double minutes every time I refill my TracFone and the time I have on it expires in the year 2022. ^_^

I liked the sign I saw in a shop today; [picture of business end of .38] with the words "We don't call 9-1-1?"

Why not? My garage door opener has an app that calls, sends a text, or email when the garage door is opened. I have no idea why someone would want such a thing, but it's in there.

forgetting to bring them in. So now I want to rig up something attached to the front door bell that I can hear out in back. Even in my office with the door closed I can't hear the doorbell.

inside the kitchen door.

kitchen all through the house? Is there a better way? Or can I install a second doorbell that rings in back? This would look funny by the front door, wouldn't it? Naive questions from a naive homeowner.

That ridiculous. A second "line" is $10/month with a free phone, and you can get prepaid plans for $40/year, or I'm sure less.

PagePlus is a minimum of a $10 prepaid card (100 minutes) every four months. It uses the Verizon network, too.

Oh for the love of God! Put your phone in a quart size Ziploc bag when you take it out to garden.

There are waterproof portable and waterproof cell phones available. There are also military spec versions. I don't know the details of military spec. Have you looked for cases that hunters or fishermen might use? Cabelas?

Keep on following the party line: left, right left, right...oh wait for you it has to be right, right, right, right, right, right so that you can keep going in circles

I think mostly the people get rid from all this wire things.I think you must installed a wireless system for your home.Because mostly the wire got damaged and you don't be aware of that until you see the damaged and you don't get any alarm in your office until the damage wire will be replaced and it cost you more.

I read all the (non-political) suggestions with great interest.

  1. Cell-phone in yard. Put in ziploc bag. Talk about not thinking outsid e the box! Hits self in forehead (almost) hard enough to cause injury.

  1. Can't hear doorbell: Will try to investigate flashing light, etc. May be through some handicapped Website? Not sure I'm up to finessing the door bell to connect in back.

Many thanks to (almost) all.

Now must get back to preparing MY plaything at CERN for two years from now when I will collide these little guys much, much harder.

Well, guess what. There ain't just one of those little critters. Maybe. I hope the EPA doesn't hear about this. I'm thinking endangered species list. There's only one for sure so far. HuffPo link:
