We are getting a cable modem at home which enables the ditching of our land line (previously we had DSL). We were thinking of getting one of those docking-station products: WHP Wireless’ CellSocket, Phonelabs’ Dock-N-Talk or Xcelis’ Pantheon. Was wondering if anyone had experience with these things — an epinions search turned up no results. Please comment or e-mail at theriver (at) mcnigel.com if you have experience with any of these.
The idea is that you can place your cell phone in the location in your home where you can get the best reception, and then use your regular phone handset(s) to talk. You keep the one number, take advantage of free night and weekend minutes, and lose the cost of maintaining a landline. Of course, if the power goes out or if your reception stinks, you are screwed.
