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.

  1. Nice idea by mrdaveb · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This is a nice idea, but wouldn't it be better to have a system that let you use your traditional landline-style handset even when you aren't in the house?

    Has anyone stopped to think, hey, we already have this technology with Cingular FastForward? Not trying to hawk a service here, I'm just saying, it's been around for a long time!
