Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls

nizo writes "Not too long ago I decided to get rid of my landline, however I miss being able to make a call with a regular phone, especially long calls that might drain my battery. It would also be nice if I didn't have to hunt for my cellphone at home when it rings. Well, it looks like there is a simple solution with a Cell Socket, a cradle for your cellphone that can be used to attach your cell line to one or more regular phones." Even better, for those with a landline or VoIP phone, would be a system that automatically picks the cheapest route out for any given call.

    I miss being able to make a call with a regular phone, especially long calls that might drain my battery.

    When you get home, plug your phone into the charger. If you use it, leave it plugged in.

    Leave it in the same place... attached to the charger.
