I like it because I don't have to get expensive feature phones style sets around the house. Rather, I can use older more reliable Bell System Style sets (with real networks. :-) Basically 8 numbers does it for me. I had thirty numbers in a previous life, and found that I was using about ten of them and had forgotten what the other twenty were used for. I tried to allocate them in groups, like 20-30 are for family, 30-40 are her friends, 40-49 are my friends, etc., but it never took. Since then, I've learned to live with 8 and saved a buck or two. Actually, I remember why I needed more. Way back then, I used several of them for 950-xxxx. Now that Grandma is in a home, I expect that I could reprogram #3. Maybe Dominos Pizza :-) callous youth... forget the pizza, call your granny.
