Being of a certain age, my mobile is only really for use out and
about. Indoors, I prefer my landline. Which has more than enough
phones on it. ;-)

So when indoors, the mobile gets left in the kitchen. on charge. And I
can't hear it ring elsewhere in the house.

What I'd like is incoming calls to my mobile to transfer automatically
to the land line. (maybe tell the caller this is happening)

If it only did this when the mobile is at home, so much the better. In
other words, automatically.


I was looking at this:

but can't quite justify the expense, or the replacement of the otherwise
fine cordless phones I already have.


It would need to be something that interfaces with the landline, rather
than an individual phone.

History - I've lived here long before mobile phones arrived, or indeed
cordless ones - is why every room in the house has a landline socket. And
most a phone too. So if the landline rings, I can hear and answer it
anywhere. Or make a phone call.

I've no need for a mobile phone contract given its limited use, so it is
PAYG.


But its usually cheaper to ditch the landline and have the cheapest
mobile plan that has unlimited calls and texts and MMSs in the
country and often to the other first world countrys too.

Relying on BT to give me an internet connection
when out and about in London if needed.


And I simply don't want to carry it at all times.


You don’t need to but should as you get more decrepit unless
you have other ways to call someone if you fall and cant get up.
