I just 'paired' my cell phone to my panasonic home phones. Now when I get a cell phone call I can
hear the ring and answer it on my home phone.

Next step, disconnect the home phone from the land line and stop paying Cox the big bucks for the
telephone!

Yippee.

You guys should have told me about that years ago!

How does that work? Do you dock your cell phone in the home phone
base?
Obviously if you are out on the golf course with your phone, the home
phone is not going to ring. (unless there is something about SIM cards
that I do not understand)

No, it's done with Bluetooth. The cell phone has to be within transmitting distance for the
panasonic to pick it up. Don't know what the max range is. The two phones have to connect with each
other. Now when my cell phone rings, all the land line phones ring also...if my cell phone is close
enough. If I'm at the golf course, I wouldn't care about the land line ringing anyway.
