Grace Digital XLink ITC-BTTN Bluetooth Device

The GE unit - I beleive its model 21815 - only cost about a third of this and has all of the same functionality, except it only connects to 2 cell phones instead of 3. How many people have 3 cell phones? And if you do, you probably don't want the kids phone(s) ringing the house phone anyway.Buy the GE unit instead.

I guess this product does what it says, but if you want it for more than one cell phone, forget it. It claims to have different rings for each cell phone and your landline, but it is really impossible to tell them apart. So this won't work for a house full of kids with their own cell phones.And turning on bluetooth on your cell kills the battery much faster than without. This means to use this without killing your cell battery, you have to turn bluetooth on and off. (At least this is true for my Motorola KRZR. Your bluetooth might not do that.)

Working great with my two cell phones and land line. Using it to eliminate my land line. It is doing all that it says it can, so far. Easy to update the filmware, via computer interface. It does not come with the USB cable, but a standard one works. Some calls have some echoing, but not sure if this is the xlink, or the connection. It rings only the phone it is connected to, which may be due to the wiring in my house. I resolved this by getting a 4 extention 5.8 ghz wireless phone system, which works very good with it. Pluged into the base, it will ring all the other extentions. It also allows you to access all your cell phone features via the home extention. The higher ghz keeps it from interfering with the Bluetooth signal whith is in the 2 ghz range. Would highly recommend considering the adaptations I mentioned here.

Last year I added a line to my Verizon cell phone service (in California) so that my elderly mother's caregiver (in Hawaii) could call me on my cell without charge at any time. My mother has a pacemaker, and cell phone use is discouraged as the cell signal could confuse the pacemaker. After researching options to porting a cell signal to a regular phone handset, I purchased the XLNK Gateway along with an inexpensive AT&T Trimline handset.I was pleasantly surprised that the Gateway is a lot smaller than I thought it would be! The unit paired easily with the cell phone's bluetooth, and the sound through the AT&T handset was good. The only problem I encountered was in programming the handset for speed dialing through XLNK using the speed dial numbers in the cell phone. The process required multiple tries to get each number working, possibly due more to the AT&T handset than Gateway. Indeed, when I discovered that the programming would be erased when the handset was disconnected from power, I decided it would be easier to program each speed dial number directly into the handset's memory than try to get it to access the cell phone's programming.Before I had a chance to take Gateway to Hawaii to install in a home with landline service, my mother moved into an assisted living facility on a trial basis. Rather than have the telephone company install a landline, I quickly set up the cell-to-Gateway-to-AT&T handset system. Mom was set up with phone service on her first day in her new home! Gateway performed flawlessly!Mom is comfortable using the traditional AT&T handset without danger to her pacemaker, and the cell service gives her needed access to family and friends. If Mom decides to move back home, we'll be able to set up the system with her landline.After one month in service, the setup is still working well. The cell phone remains connected to the charger at all times. I did make sure to label all power cord plugs "Do not disconnect" at the wall outlet so that someone wouldn't inadvertently shut down the whole system. I also left all of the instruction manuals and speed dial programming list so that someone else could redo the setup again if needed. And I made copies of all docs for myself so that I could remotely guide someone through the setup if all else fails!The XLNK Gateway was a great solution to address the pacemaker concern in an ever-changing living environment.

This is the coolest device out. I am surprised everyone doesn't have one. With the right marketing, this could be on all the infomercials. I got rid of my landline for obvious reasons and this is the perfect replacement. Set it up for up to three cell phones and as soon as you are within range (best in the same room), it takes over your cellphone, via bluetooth and sends a useable phone signal to all the phones in your house. All you do is disconnect the outside phone signal wire that goes to the house (so it won't zap the X-link if energized), plug this into a free phone jack and that is it. It will operate as the phone company. You can pick up any other phone in the house and it will have a dial tone. If any of the three cell phones linked up rings, it will ring all the other phones in your house. All you do is pick one up and talk. With a few codes you can also do different functions on your cell like "say a command".Sometimes there is a little pause before it actually links up but after you are used to it, it is not noticeable. Also, if you have the phone in your pocket and get out of range it can act funny. This is easily solved by setting the phone near the X-link when you get home and then you never have to carry your cell around with you. Love it.

The Xlink worked well but there are some things that did not thrill me. The phone connection ports on the unit are not marked and unless you refer to the manual you have no idea which port is for the line in or line out. [...]. I also heard that over the phone using the Xlink my voice sounded slightly garbled and I had to talk very soft to not have that problem. It works, but if you are picky and OCD about things, get the Cell2Tel.

I have used this for a few years it works great. When your cell phone is in range it hooks up and your cell calls come over your home phone wiring or any cordless phone you plug into it. Makes life easier for those of us that still like a hard line with our cell world. You can receive and call out on your cell and hard line with great ease. Their web site makes updating the firmware easy, though I have never had a problem with unit.

I bought this to replace existing IP phone service. If you don't mind initial delay, you should be happy. Other than that, make sure to put you cellular phone where it gets the best service.
