Landline??? I would have probably bought this if I had a clue if it was for land lines too... Appears it is just a bluetooth extension for a cell phone???

Appears that the base IS wall-mountable. See D. Petzinger's review of this unit, dated June 2, 2011, in which he addresses wall mounting.

Would this work for a business land line? That is, digital business land lines operate on a different technology than do home land lines which use an analog POTS phone system. For example, if you go into Best Buy and purchase a wireless handset to use with your business land line, it won't work because of the incompatibility between the digital and analog phone system technologies. You have to buy a wireless handset that's designed to work with whatever digital business phone system has been installed in the office.

I have been using this set up for 3 years. We spend summers out in the sticks where my cell phone has one bar....if I walk around, I lose signal. With the blue-tooth on my cell "enabled", I simply pick up the panasonic handset when my cell rings, and do not lose signal walking inside or outside in the yard. A cool feature: if I am talking through the cell line, and my landline receives a call, the phone rings as usual, and CAN be picked up and used by my husband while I'm still on the phone. When you want to call out, you have an option to select "cell" and use your cell plan minutes..we no longer subscribe to the phone company's long distance plan.

Base is wallmountable.. And this is a Landline or Bluetooth... You can turn off landline if you are not planning to use it. My usage is strictly cellular and it works flawlessly.

No dial tone upon plug in. However, I do have a cell phone that's with me at work so that should work at a minimum. Was just hoping for both land line and cell options. Agreed re: buy and try. Again, thanks for your help.

Wow. Thanks so much for the quick reply. The tip of the cord from the base of my current office phone (the Lucent 6408D+) is the standard RJ11. The issue with the Best Buy product wasn't the cord. It was the fact that the phone was designed to work on the analog POTS system (i.e., the one found in homes) and not a digital business phone system (e.g., PBX, Merlin, etc.).

It needs an RJ11 (telephone) line. If your phones use RJ45 (Ethernet) it won't work. Most business lines that I have seen still use an RJ11, but Best Buy, Walmart, and Radio Shack (among many other larger chains) probably use RJ45. If you're using an RJ11 with VoIP, like Vonage, it should still work.

nOT SURE WHAT UR ASKING but I can tell u I have my cell phone paired to my landline but I also pay for data use on my cell phone! But if ur asking if u can make calls from a cell phone by just pairing them I would want to say no. U have to also have landline service. Hope this helps.

You can use a cell phone adapter with your cell phone. So, you don't have to have a landline.

Hello. This adapter is meant to convert a landline phone into a Bluetooth enabled phone so that you can use any Bluetooth headset with your landline. An iPhone is already Bluetooth enabled so you can connect your headset to the iPhone. So, connecting an iPhone with this adapter wouldn't serve a purpose. I don't know if an iPhone pairs with this adapter, but I feel there is no purpose.

The Renny requires a blue tooth connection. So it would not work with a landline phone.

This is an extension charging base, and does not connect to the phone line. You have to have a base unit (several exist, with or without answering machines) and then can have up to 6 handsets (including the base station)

It works perfectly as a landline only....but you have that optional cell phone feature should you ever have the need for it

Hi J. Clegg,That certainly wasn't true in my case. I DO have an active Landline phone and linked my iPhone to the Panasonic. The only thing I noticed is that you cannot be on a call using the the cell phone and have a handset CLOSE BY and "on" and trying to also use that handset (like a 3-way call) because you get a loud speaker "feedback" noise. The two devices just need to be apart from each other....(more than 10 feet in my experience).

The voice quality was fine, but it's just not practical. The Bluetooth has a very limited range, so you end up losing connections if you go too far from the base station. See my full review here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2O4VJD5X65LEB/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B002JH1C5Y#wasThisHelpful

I think this devices is meant to plug into a phone system, not an individual phone. Think of it like a CD player or an mp3 player... which is essentially what it is. It outputs but you have to have somewhere to plug the input.

The phone connect to the cell phones through Bluetooth, so there should be no need to keep a land line. When any of the two cell phone rings, it shows cell on the this phone and you click that button rather than the usual on button which is used for land line.

This is an extension to the OomaThelo... You have to plug a phone into it. Hope this was useful.

Yes it works like a land line. It will also ring on my cell and I can use my cell,home cordless or google website to make calls.

I have my cell phone number programed into the system. If you are trying to get an attachment to use when your land line is unavailable I can't answer that question.

You do not need a landline, just a cell tower signal. Read the info on this DB Pro...it says it works with most cell services I think. My service is Verizon.

Hi Really ike my phone. It is not a cell phone, needs a land line. My hearing is pretty bad and this phone really helps. PB

I don't think so! It, however, has a wired headset outlet on each wireless handset! Asking it to connect through Bluetooth to one's Bluetooth phone and then, additionally asking it to do a Bluetooth headset, would be too much, and, frankly meaningless, in my opinion, since the device is designed to allow one to use a landline and cell, at home, with multiple handsets, conveniently placed around said home!, which it does beautifully!
