Blue Tooth home phone
Several companies sell home phone systems that can I believe use your
cell phone to make and take calls. Anybody know if these work well. It would be nice to have a desk phone that uses your cell. I saw an ATT ad. |

I saw an ATT ad. I often use a BT headset with my cellphone thats sitting on the counter plugged into the charger. I can make calls with voice dialing and answer with the headset. I don't think adding a desk phone to the mix would add anything. |

I question any need for a home phone these days.......... OP's question is about a product that can be used with or without a landline and I believe they handle 2 cell phones. From what I know...you have to find out if your carrier is compatible. (I don't think it is strictly a BT issue) |

Blue Tooth home phone
"bob haller" wrote in message I question any need for a home phone these days.......... I'm keeping mine. Works during power failures (and does not need charging), and is much more comfortable to use with a real handset. Is easier for multiple users since you can answer on one phone and another can pick up an extension on another floor to get the call. I keep my home phone separate from my cell, sort of like two lives. Sometimes I don't want to be contracted, especially if I'm out, my insurance agent has no need to get a hold of me. |

I question any need for a home phone these days.......... Haven't yet done a thorough check of Grand Central, but the reason my wife and I maintain a home/land line is for people who want to call either of us, not just one or the other. This way, when mom and dad call, they can talk to either or both of us, instead of having to decide which cell phone they're going to call this time... |

Why not just use that phone to make the calls? Its just a landline phone with cordless handsets that can also be programed so you can use your Cell provider, through Bluetooth , through your cellphone. So if you are charging the cell phone in one room you can still answer and make cell calls with the handsets in other rooms. Or you dont need to carry your Cell on you to use it around home. I think Vtech said something like 12 BlueTooth cell phones can be programmed in. I get tired of having to be sure my cell is always nearby and not near discharged, this is just your regular cordless, that also controls your Cell. I dont think you would even need a Landline to use it , as I am thinking. Vtech, GE, Att, Panasonic all have Blue Tooth, land line, cordless systems now, and they are priced fairly cheap. I just googled, Blue Tooth Home Phones |

A standard home phone requires no electricity or battery charging. Technology was originally designed to make life easier, but reverse technology makes it more difficult. You seem to be choosing that method. You can get a home phone for less than $10. Plug it in, and never fuss with it again. But if you like the battery charging and replacing routine, and have money to blow on your electric bill, thats up to you. Your suggestion is fine if you don't mind being tethered to the phone by a cord. Personally, I hate that. Cordless land line phones still use electricity to charge the handset. What we've done... We have a land line, but it is only connected to our security system and our fax machine. The line is the most basic with absolutely no "features". Very inexpensive. We use cell phones exclusively for communication. Mostly we talk to each other, so no minutes are used, and we never exceed our allotted minutes even while making long distance calls. We usually charge our cell phones either in the car or at work. No increase in our electric bill. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I went into a McDonald's yesterday and said, 'I'd like some fries.'

I am a 31 year veteran in the telephony business. I am now living in Verizon country (western NC) and everything about the company is bad. My temporary land line in very noisy. On one call the audible levels are super high, on the next you can barely hear without turning up the volume on the phone. There is 60Hz hum on the line all the time. You "hear" lightening on the line when there's a storm. The DSL is very slow during peak times of the day. The customer support is the biggest joke I have ever seen. The only time I experience such bad support was from the cable company outside of Chicago when it was owned by the old AT&T, but is was all cable company people. Here in NC I have seen DSL speeds of 50KHz during the busy periods. The "tech", reading from a script in Asia, had me changing cables on the DSL modem and "making sure the modem was plugged directly into the wall and not into an outlet strip!" When I finally move to my new house, the line comes from a remote facility that serves and small industrial park, so I'm hoping for better. If I can do anything to avoid Verizon, I will. |

We usually charge our cell phones either in the car or at work. No increase in our electric bill. Because of the ****ing telemarkers and other users of auto dialers, I've switched to VOIP and a home PBX that is smart enough to look up incoming phone calls and to reject them before any phone rings. A nice benefit is that I have a phone number for $5 /month. We only pretty much only use the land line so that business (legitimate) can reach us without risking some asshole selling our cell phone number. The last straw was when an autodialer called me to let me know that I shouldn't litter. There were obviously harvesting numbers and using the donotcall.gov loophole that politicians had written in for themselves and nonprofit organizations. |

cell phone ring when it is plugged in on the main level and we are in either of the other two levels. At home you don't always have your cell phone attached at the hip. "ransley" wrote in message ...

This interests me because my house is a tri level and we cannot hear our cell phone ring when it is plugged in on the main level and we are in either of the other two levels. At home you don't always have your cell phone attached at the hip. There is a new system of phones that plug into a jack on the wall. You can have one in every room if you want and they all ring at the same time so you won't miss any calls. I have six of them in my house. |
