No more searching for your cell phones, just use regular phones at home or in the office. The XLink can simultaneously connect to three different cell phones, one for each family member! As many regular telephones as desired can be plugged into the back of the XLink. Whenever any of the connected cell phones ring, all the telephones ring also! XLink can be used with or without landline phone service. Now you can decide whether or not to keep your landline. Either way - all your telephones can keep functioning!"</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1239758466.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>I can't wait for the day that I can finally get rid of my land line, but alas that is not in the foreseeable future.&nbsp; But once that does happen, devices like this are a great way of maintaining the convenience and utility of the phones already in your home.&nbsp; At $120 for the multi-line model, this device would pay for itself in a little more than 4 months of eliminated local phone service.</p>

I've been using one of these for about 3 months now. I had a bad habit of turning the volume off on my cell phone (iPhone) at work, then forgetting to turn it back on at home. Since I got rid of my land line 6 months ago, I was missing a lot of calls.
This setup works well for me. The bluetooth connects automatically as soon as I walk in the door. I can leave the iPhone in the cradle, and still get calls. The only issue I have is the sound quality, but that may be due to the cheapo-cheapo phones I have connected.:D

I just recently purchased the Panasonic KX-TH1212B cordless phone system with 'Link-to-Cell'. It seems to offer the same convenience as this device, but with landline function as well. We only had 1 working landline phone, so a multi handset system was perfect for us, and the ability to connect it to our cell phones as well was what sold us.

It's a standard expandable cordless landline phone system, but with integrated bluetooth to connect 2 cell phones to it. As soon as I walk in the door at night, it connects to my cell phone, and from then on if someone calls my cell, it rings on the panasonic phones. It seems to have mixed reviews on amazon, but I've been pretty impressed with it so far. It's nice to plug the cell phone in at night and not have to run into the bedroom to grab it when someone calls.
