Stick to your copper

We were recently informed by Telkom that our prepaid copper line was going to be replaced with a land line look alike phone. We were given the choice of accepting the new phone now at no cost or wait until we are forced to take it and buy for the instrument. We opted for the conversion now with the free instrument. The instrument itself is great with fantastic features and excellent reception BUT I cannot connect my fax machine (yes, I still have one of those), nor my alarm to this instrument. I also used to have a second instrument in the bedroom, but now I have to carry this new box around every day. Sorry Telkom - not good enough.
