Why not just forward your calls from your iphone to your chordless phone,
that way you wouldn't have to buy one, oh, that's right, what about your
text messages.

Subject: RE: Linking IPhone To Cordless Phone
Hi Linda and Andy,
I don't own such a cordless phone and haven't used one. However, I also
have
looked at such cordless phones and as far as I am concerned it is a bit of
a
gadget which to me doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I can just as easily
answer my iPhone instead of a cordless phone. I guess one argument might
be
that maybe you have your iPhone plugged in and with such a cordless phone
you could still answer your iPhone. However, as Andy pointed out, the
connection between the cordless phone and the iPhone is just Bluetooth and
no different from using any Bluetooth headset which allows you to answer
your phone or, for that matter, the Jambox will let you do so except you
only have speakerphone. I have used Bluetooth headsets and very good ones
like the Jambox ERA which is considered to be one of the best single-ear
headsets for answering calls. The fact is that even with a very good
Bluetooth headset you will not get the same voice quality as you would
with
a wired headset. Now consider that the Jawbone ERA is $129.99 and many of
these cordless phones are in that same price range, often even cheaper,
sometimes maybe a bit more. I then wonder what would give me better sound
quality, a dedicated Bluetooth headset made by a company that specializes
in
that or a cordless phone which even without the mobile phone connection
feature costs already half as much as the dedicated headset. In my opinion
the sound quality on such a device can only be worse than on a good
Bluetooth headset. Lastly, the connection is also subject to the
limitations
of range associated with Bluetooth. Not a big deal if you have an
apartment
or smaller house, but in a larger home or one where you have multiple
floors
it may not be the best.
Keep in mind that this is my own reasoning and opinion on this and maybe I
am totally wrong and some of the cordless phones that connect to your cell
phone via Bluetooth are actually fantastic. I would recommend that you
find
the model you want to buy and then either look it up on Amazon where you
can
usually find lots of reviews or google it and look for reviews. If you
decide to buy such a phone I look forward to your review on the list.
Regards,
Sieghard
