At our cohousing, there's a phone in the sitting room of our common house. No one answers it, and in fact sometimes we leave the ringer off or the phone unplugged. There is a message service, which is picked up only once a week (and I think the outgoing message says this). It seems useful as a way for people to get in touch with us who are interested in going on one of our monthly tours, or in being on our prospective buyers list. Once they have made their first contact with the community, they usually get hooked up with the appropriate person for further calls or emails. It's mainly for first contacts from the outside, when people don't know who to call. The big reason I'm glad we have the phone there is that we have a lot of committee meetings at the common house, and if someone spaces out about a meeting (as I sometimes do), it's easy to call them from the common house phone. We also keep a community phone list there. The phone has no long-distance or 900 capability. It's a great resource. Deborah Mensch Pleasant Hill Cohousing
