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 is still "docked" in the data sense. If you are more than 10
meters from the house phone, it is a paperweight.

As long as everyone has their own phone that is OK but if you are home
alone and don't have a phone you are Amish.
I suppose you can back that up with VOIP but at that point, why bother
with the cell interface?


Yeah, it's docked. The Panasonic will link up to two cell phones. The cell interface enables me to
cut Cox out of my phone system and not have to worry about where my damn cell phone is, as long as
it's in the house.
