RCA's Cell Docking System combines the comfort and convenience of your home phone with the flexibility and long distance minutes of your cell phone. The RCA 23200RE3 includes a base with rechargeable cradle and a 2.4 GHz cordless handset. Just place your cell phone into the docking station and at the touch of a button you can switch between home and cell phone services. The docking station charges your cell phone automatically. Don't worry if you are on the phone when another call comes in--the RCA 23200RE3 acts as a second phone line by supporting two people at the same time (one person is able to make or receive a home line telephone call while the other is on a cellular call). The minute tracking display allows you to make the best use of cell service minutes for both long distance and local calls.

The base unit can be upgraded via USB connection to support future cell phone models. Home phone service connection not required for operation. The included 2.4 GHz cordless handset features Call Waiting Caller ID display (if service is available), a 40-name and number caller ID log, a separate 50-Name and number phonebook, a speakerphone, and a headset jack and belt clip for comfortable, hands-free calling. Selectable ringtones allow you to identify whether a call is coming in on the home line or cell. You can expand the system with up to three cordless RCA handsets (available separately). Use these additional handsets as an in-house intercom system or convenient conference calling.

What's in the Box:
Docking station, docking station AC power adapter, USB cable, telephone line cord, belt clip, base, base AC power adapter, cordless handset, handset battery, battery compartment cover, connections cables for cell phone models: Nokia 9-pin, Nokia 14-pin, Motorola and Sony Ericsson

Product Description

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Compatible, Not Dependable, January 11, 2006

By 

KLF (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA Cell Phone Docking System (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought this to use with my Sony Ericsson T226 phone, which RCA claims is compatible with their docking station. When I tried it, I could hear the person I was calling, but they couldn't hear me. Also, I could hear the echo of my own voice, which is not conducive to holding a conversation. So, I took it to the cell phone store with RCA's list of compatible cell phones, and the salesperson and I tried it with a Motorola V551. This provided a sound quality which was not wonderful, but acceptable for communication, so I purchased the Motorola. It sounds tinny or brassy, but at least we could hear each other. So now, I have this system at home, and I'm finding that sometimes the RCA system will work, and sometimes, it will not. If my cell phone is docked, sometimes the cell phone will ring with an incoming call, and sometimes it won't. Sometimes the RCA handsets won't ring when a call comes in. Sometimes, if the cell phone is docked, and a call comes in, I'll pick up the cell phone, but the other RCA handsets won't stop ringing, even though I've picked up the call. They'll ring in the other room for the entire conversation. My experience with this item is that it is not dependable.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, January 15, 2007

This review is from: RCA Cell Phone Docking System (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought this product over a year ago with the promise that RCA would be adding adaptor kits for newer cell phones, as my phone was not compatible. They have not added a single adaptor kit in the last 13 months that I have been monitoring their website. I resigned myself to buy a new cell phone so I could use this product, but guess what? All the supported phones they list are old relics that you can't even get anymore (at least in my area by Unicel and Verizon). I am out almost $200 for a product that is unusable.

although the text states this is compatible with many other phones...contact RCA for information...it is only compatible with a limited number of phones, and I cannot get anyh response from RCA although I've e-mailed several times. I have been to merchants who offer this product and they do not have adapters for the Sanyo phones used by Sprint - who is a major player in the cell phone market.
