Even though we have found better technologies that provide more convenient ways to communicate and cheaper ways to get our message across, phone calls still hold a special place in our hearts.

There is just something about hearing the voice of another person from the other end.

There is something about making a call through a telephone.

Surveys actually say that most people use the telephone especially if they have something important to say. They never do it by text, they seldom do it by email, they may also do it through a cellular phone but the most common way of breaking great news or sad news is through the telephone.

Phones have come a long way since they first came out.

They are now more compact and they have a lot of features now like:

Call waiting: which allows you to now when somebody is calling while you are currently taking a call

Caller ID: which tells you who is calling even before you answer the phone

Three-way conference calls: which allows you to speak to two other parties at the same time                     

Call return: which allows you to call the number of the last person who called you; selective call forwarding which allows you to forward calls to pre-selected number you could set your self.

All of these features, plus online access to voice mail, online account summary, repeat dialing, speed dialing and caller id blocking are available when you subscribe to one of Comcast Digital Phone packages. For the surprisingly affordable rate of as low as $19.99 per month for the first six months.

When you subscribe to Comcast Digital Phone, you get to keep your current phone and your current phone number so you would never miss calls just because people can not reach you any more.

It also saves you the hassle of informing everybody that you have a new phone number.

Those who regularly make long distance calls would also be glad to know that they have packages that allow you to call as much as you want anywhere inside the United States, Canada, Puerto Rica, the US Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.

Since Comcast Digital Voice works over a broadband network (that is the internet to some of you), your calls are clear and consistent, no matter when you make the call, and no matter where you call.

That is one telephone service that really allows you to call the shots.

That is what Comcast can give you.
