Some models do have an external antenna that might give you a boost. You can also position the base station in a "sweet spot" if you have one.
The Bluetooth comes into play when connecting the cell phone to the base station. You can dock it in the station or connect it with Bluetooth. The advantage is that once the cell is connected to the dock, you can use any standard 2.4 Ghz cordless handset(s) around the house. When the cell rings the cordless handset(s) will ring and will have the caller ID info passed to it. You can also make outgoing calls from the handset(s) and the will be passed through the cell phone. On 5/12/06, warpmedia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Looks like both brand's bases are bluetooth and need BT enabled cell phone to work, so no cell signal boost from them. You could get one of those car antenna kits and jack into phone for better reception. Winterlight wrote: > I live in a area where all cell providers have a very weak signal.
