Open the euc form on the web site and put your mouse over the phone number box. A little instruction box opens and says "this number needs to be associated with your physical address, not a mobile or business phone...................."I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't remember to saying it needs to be a land line, I just remember it saying it needs to be in your name and address. Lots of people have gotten EUC's with cell phone numbers.
You must not live in the mountainous areas of KY, because most rural areas, including the mountains have lousy cell reception. I live about 20 miles each direction from two pretty large towns, and 5 miles from the highway and a cell tower right at my exit, and I still don't get any reception at my house.
Me neither, about once a month the cable guy or phone guy stops buy trying to get us to get a land line. I always tell them that we don't need one. They give a sales pitch about there being a terrorist attack or some other emergency and what if I needed to call an ambulance for our precious children and the cell towers are all jammed up. I bet that works on some people, but if there is a major emergency there isn't going to be an ambulance available to call anyway.I haven't had a landline in years. My EUC took the normal amount of slowness to get through. There are plenty of other reasons for your EUC to get hung up and screwed up.
$60 a month each? We have three with 700 minutes each, a media package and free nights, weekends and in network calling. The three cost us $76.00 a month with taxes. Our phone bill when we finally shut it off was around 125-145 a month.
The high rates are because we are so rural. There are only 2 companies that handle our area, Verizon and US Cellular. The price I was quoting was actually what I found Verizon for (the company I'll use next), my old US Cellular service cost me over $90 a month for a national plan (including taxes and fees, which were almost $40 of that). Even the Verizon prepaid phone I have now had to be a locally purchased phone, one that I bought in Concord wouldn't work in my area. We only get the oldest, most outdated things at high prices. Like my cable internet, that I'm excited to have, even at 1/10 the speed of Roadrunner for more money.
Or provider is Verizon. We get a discount through my wife's employer.
