Kelly, when I visit my parents, I have the same problem with the phone, and that is because of the coverage. But I do get sms or call notes, so, I know that someone wants to get in touch with me. Then, I am happy if they send me an sms saying what they need to tell me. I hope you get that fixed line and you won't miss any more calls

Enjoy your new place and your new freedom. And try to take everything a bit easier, what's hard - is behind!
