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)

I'm guessing it's probably a "Bluetooth" link similar to what most
modern cars provide for hands free operation of your cell phone.
Virtually all of the newer cell phones have Bluetooth capability. If
you have a lot of MP3 music stored on your phone Bluetooth is also
useful to linking up with wireless speakers, ear buds, etc.


That's exactly what it is. We have Panasonic cordless phones, both of our cell phones link up automatically as soon as they are in range, and can be answered with the cordless handsets just as John describes. You can also choose which cell phone to use to make outbound calls. It even rings with the cell phone's ringtone. They are calling it "Link2Cell".
