[Electronics-Talk] home phone on cell signal

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

I also thought of voip after asking my question.
the description from amazon couldn't be copied but this box sounds good;
Xtreme Technologies Xlink BT Bluetooth Gateway - Black for $65

ditch your landline service
Answer/make cell phone calls on home telephones
Wireless - when cell phones are placed within range, the XLink automatically
connects to them
works with normal corded or cordless phones
no monthly fees
reduce exposure to cell phone radiation

Bryan and all:

I know that both AT&T as well as Sprint offer the service and equipment 
I think you are looking for. The last time I checked, for about $10 
monthly you could get a small box, which resembles a cable modem. It 
interfaces between the cellular network and a conventional land line phone.

I have auditioned both AT&T and sprint, in the store, to check the 
service. I found the quality to be marginal at best. You might want to 
consider Ooma, for a relatively inexpensive land line alternative. I can 
also recommend Voipo as a VOIP carrier.
