Your cell phone is your lifeline. Now, it's your home line, too!

Easy to Use
Link to Cell uses technology to connect your cell phone calls to your home handset extensions. No more running for your cell phone, walking around for good reception, or cradling that little phone on your shoulder. Better yet, you get to tap into your free cell phone minutes for talk time, and you can charge your cell phone while using the home handsets. Now, that's convenient!

How it Works
Just link any Bluetooth-enabled cell phone to your Link to Cell base unit, and you're good to go. It's that easy. Set up takes seconds--and you can link up to 2 Bluetooth-enabled cell phones at once. Talking Caller ID lets you know who's calling, and custom ring tones tell you which cell phone is ringing.

Note: This set includes two handsets. A Cell Link Coverage Telephone System with one handset is also available.

What's in the Box

5.0 out of 5 stars REVISED...DO NOT BUY !!!!!!!!! ISSUE WITH DROPPED CALLS... PANASONIC IS AWARE THAT THEY RELEASED A FAULTY PRODUCT DO NOT BUY!!, June 21, 2008

By	Mike Savage Fan - See all my reviews

PURCHASE THE XLINK BY XTREME TECHNOLOGIES CORP. INSTEAD !!!!!!
PANASONIC MAKES THE BEST CORDLESS PHONES, BUT THIS UNIT IS A FAILURE.
I ORIGINALLY GAVE THIS PRODUCT 5 STARS. I WOULD NOW GIVE IT 0 STARS. THIS PRODUCT WAS RELEASED WITH FIRMWARE FLAWS WHICH ARE CAUSING DROPOUTS BETWEEN THE BASE UNIT AND THE HANDSETS (READ THE OTHER REVIEWS). THIS IS NOT A BLUETOOTH COMPATIBILITY ISSUE. PANASONIC RELEASED THIS UNIT WITH INHERENT FLAWS. I AM AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER; AND HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH CELLULAR/LANDLINE INTERFACE PRODUCTS. I RECOMMENDED THIS UNIT TO MY COLLEAGUES AND RELATIVES; THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM CONTEMPLATING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE IT APPEARS PANASONIC WAS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS, BUT DECIDED TO RELEASE THE UNIT REGARDLESS. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Review, June 11, 2008

By	UCS308 (California) - See all my reviews

Once installed this unit essentially gives you convenient access to 3 telephones lines - 1 Land-line + 2 cellphones - but you can still only use one line at a time. So if you are using a handset to make or take a call that came in via your cellphone, you will not be able use the system for making or receiving any calls on the other cellphone or via the land line.

For many people this will mean that instead of carrying on 2 or 3 conversations - very common here at my house - you will be limited to only 1. Kinda like having 3 bathrooms in your house but only 1 door to get to them, fine if you live alone, but if you have more than 1 person at home expect to have somebody asking how much longer you are going to be, or when you will be done, every 2 minutes.

5 stars for a great product so far.
0 stars for the line-blocking action.
2 stars for overall execution.

After 3 weeks of use I returned this product. The problems I noted above were irritating, but add in the dropped calls (not cellphone related), and the failure to pick up many of the incoming cell calls, and I was left feeling I could not rely on this unit. I was using it with 2 iPhones. Maybe that makes a difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Cordless phone, June 5, 2008

By	Book Reviewer (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

I have been waiting for this phone since it was announced at CES in January. Originally I tried the AT&T EP5632 but was disappointed by the bluetooth technology. On the AT&T my cell phone would never connect automatically when I came home for the day. The Panasonic works flawlessly every time. It has a setting the can control how frequently the cordless phone looks for the cell phone.

Other then the wonderful bluetooth feature everything else works as you'd expect. I can make or place calls, there is a phone book and customizable ringers. The talking caller id is a bonus. The sound comes out of the handset not the base unit so I can hear who is calling in each room I have a handset.

The only thing I have found to knock on the phone is that there does not appear to be a phonebook transfer feature. Transferring between handsets is something my old panasonic could do. Even better is if the phone could sync with the phonebook on my cell phone. Also, the only lighted keys are the numeric keys. Everything else is not lighted. It would be great if everything else where lighted.
