I went to Walmart's on Dec 24 which is an interesting experience. Actually I got in and out faster than I usually do, but the parking lot was insane.
I bought the cheapest phone I could find ($6.!) to test my system, and when I started fooling around with the phones, answering machine and connecting wires, I found that my old phone works.
it must have been one of the wires, altho I thot I had checked them.

so now I have an extra phone, just in case.
