Telephone Problem, Updated

[ndrosen]

My telephone didn’t have a dial tone, and I thought the problem might be with the physical phone, so on Monday, I went to Best Buy, and bought a replacement telephone and a set of AA batteries. Later, I got around to checking again, and my phone was working; presumably, the problem had been with the connection somehow, rather than with my own telephone. I considered keeping the new telephone, since it has features which my old one does not, but on Saturday, I returned my purchases to Best Buy, and also went to Macy’s to buy some new clothes.
