When pleasure remains, does it remain a pleasure?

I use Google Voice. I have an Obi 200 box (set up with my google voice account) with a network cable to my switch, with a cheap Wal-Mart phone plugged into the Obi. It's in my bedroom with the router and cable modem. I rarely get up to go in and answer it, because I just wait for my cheap tracfone (with no minutes [it's never even been activated]) to give me a new mail sound (I have google voice set up to email me about missed calls). Then I just open the google voice app and call them back if I want to.
It's totally free (except for the internet) and almost everywhere I go has an open WiFi hotspot so I get the missed call email alerts as soon as I connect to a WiFi hotspot (Wal-Mart for example).
Very slick, very cheap, and the added bonus of no distractions while I'm driving.
