Thanks Foxx. I think she plays the single mother card for sympathy. I don't (now) believe she has financial trouble to that extent. Her and her daughter always have the newest trendy clothes on and have a nice car and house and stuff. Maybe she racks up credit card bills and doesnt have a phone to avoid bill collectors. Who knows. I said "no" a few more times tonight sooo hope she gets the hint. When the Sunday paper comes, I'll leave an ad for any kind of phone service I can find on her door. Thanks for all the help in talking me through saying 'no.' Gets easier to say the more annoyed I get O0
LOL...there ya go!

Also, if they are truly having trouble financially, there is a program in most states called "Lifeline" or "Link Up America" which will assist low-income familes with phone service. I believe they usually will install it for free, and discount the monthly service. Your local phone company should have all the information. Good Luck!

- March 02, 2006, 08:26:25 PMlol the thought crossed my mind to say that she can use it once per day and after that it will be $2 per use

- March 02, 2006, 07:57:43 PMThank you for all the suggestions... I'm baby stepping to firm no's! I'm just too nice so this is why I generally end up with "welcome" written across my forehead. I only allowed it at first cause it was so infrequent and seemed like she needed to make important calls...now I know she's just taking advantage. She uses the phone at my house but still, more than anything I'm tired of all the interruptions. I will try to nicely suggest to her that she can get a prepaid cell phone or something like that to use instead of my free pay phone! :-)

We dumped them and went to VOIP. Since we pay for broadband internet any way, why not. It cost us $20.08 a month and that includes tax. We can call free unlimited anywhere in the U.S. and Canada 24/7. No fancey phones required either. We are useing the same ones that we used for the land line.
I don't know what the persons financial situation is but you can get a land line with local service for about $25-$30/month.
Since our kids and grandchildren live in Alaska it is really nice.
I would tell her that she is welcome to use your phone in an emergency and she must come to your house to use it. While she has it you are without a phone.

- March 02, 2006, 07:28:08 PMI would talk to the mother, and maybe suggest that she should get a track cell phone (the ones that you can keep buying the cards) or maybe she could ask her family to help.

- March 02, 2006, 07:00:47 PMI would talk with the mother and kindly let her know that all the calls are tying up your phone lines for you and your incoming calls. If she is taking the phone (cordless) to her house she could very well not answer your calls while she is on and then again she could make long distance calls and leave you hanging with them.
Hope everything works out for you.
