allow cell phone use as only phone system
357327
Buying this unit and installing it has enabled me to use only a cell phone as my phone service.
I live in an area that has trouble picking up signals because of tall surrounding residential bldgs.
Since installing this unit I was able to abandon my land line and rely totally on cell service.

Because we don't need all the modern "smart" phones, we've kept our old Moto V551's.  Having family all over the place we have a list for each county.  We buy a local SIM and program it for the country we are in.

I originally bought this to use with google voice which is no longer supported. You can use it with some pay services, but that isn't what the company was advertising at the time that I bought it.

This is a good way to rid yourself of those nuisance calls.  You are the boss when it comes to how to block calls.  Now I hope a similar thing is developed for cell phones.

Works great; requires wifi. Would be nice if could control directly from phone without router. Also ability to set daily energy usage limits would be cool to control families daily ration of energy use.

I really like that I can have my personal cell and my work cell on via bluetooth at the same time. I can get a call for work on one cell and switch over to my personal cell at the touch of a button.

This is a five star phone set, and works perfectly as a combination cell and land line unit. Nice to be able answer and make all calls with a single device. Can use the cell phone address book to make a land line call...everything nicely integrated.  My only concern is with the inability to update the firmware. I called AT&T customer service to see if the Blue tooth software could be updated against the  Blue Borne vulnerability danger, and they said no that issue would have to be considered in future product  production.  This bad security hole in the Blue tooth software is serious enough that I would not buy any device that depends on it unless, or until the software is updated.

I needed to add an extension and the best way was to replace my existing system.  I was also using an Xlink system for our cell phones and this replaces that also.  I like the fact that it uses standard rechargeable batteries (included).  If you want to cut the land line you can with this system.  Works with our cable based phone line.  I would like a wider range of ring tones but that is a minor issue.

I don't know if it's entirely pointless.  I don't want my kids to have a cellphone yet, and not just because of cost, though cost is a factor.  Texts don't leave a good record for parental monitoring.  Tweets might.  Plus $0/month is kind of attractive...

Forgot that this is only an addition and cannot be used unless you have the main phone setup so I had to throw it away

I am one of very few people who only need a phone to make phone calls...and only use it for important phone calls. Does not transfer pics/video to computer and it takes several credit minutes to email just one pic.

This phone is a good combination of both the "corded" and the "cordless" worlds of phones.  The corded "home station" of this phone will work even if the power is off, which is something many people overlook when buying a phone.  The adjunct handset can be put anywhere there's an a/c outlet, and doesn't require a phone jack.
I have telephone company voice messaging, so the Message Waiting light is a real plus.  The speakerphone has good sound quality.  My only complaint is that the home station doesn't have any autodial keys for frequently called numbers.  All stored numbers are in the main directory.  Also, interestingly, there is no place on either station to record your own phone number.
However, my likes outweigh my dislikes on this phone, and I definitely recommend it.

Great product, however you can only charge one phone or device at a time.  If you connect two phones it will decide on it's own not to charge one of them.  Works great for vehicles where occupants have multiple devices.

Okay so far the phone works for its intended primary use; calling people.  The only thing I HAAAAAATE about this phone is that if you misplace one handset (as my sons and husband tend to do) and I want to find it you can page it. However, the phone that you are paging with rings too.  So you can't locate the lost one with the original one blaring away in your hand.  Also I use the intercom setting to call my boys when they are in the basement because I dislike shouting. When you try to call the phone downstairs, same thing.  The phone in your hand rings.  I don't need the phone in my hand to ring.  I know where it is and am trying to use it to call downstairs.  Obviously I am not going to be holding it up to my ear so that is just another awful thing I despise about the phone.  Maybe there is a setting I am missing, but as far as I am concerned this is a huge flaw.  I miss my old phone but can't justify getting rid of this one.  *sigh*

The phone works great, love the conference feature.  The biggest downside is that you can only use one phone from the set at a time.  So if you have the base unit phone and a couple extra handsets, only one can be in use.  If you answer one of the phones and it is for another person, he/she HAS to use the phone you answered.  The other phones will not pick up the call.  So you have to walk the phone to them even though they might be sitting right next to another handset.

The Smart phone only works as blue tooth. Sim cards that are needed are 2g. They don't sale these anywhere to get cell phone services.
