Hi Shelley, Andy and others, You wouldn't be able to use your iPhone to make another call while you are talking on the cordless and if the call came in on your iPhone. That would be like talking on a Bluetooth headset and using the iPhone itself to make another call. The call is still on your iPhone and is using up airtime, the cordless phone is nothing but a Bluetooth handset in this case. It's like those cordless phones you can get which in addition to being connected to your landline are also connected to your router and allow you to answer and make Skype calls.
As for your question, Tara, in my opinion there is no real advantage in such phones except that you can leave your iPhone lying around or plug it in and still walk around while you make a call or answer a call. I'd rather keep my iPhone in my pocket or on my belt, that way I can answer a call just the same, I can use SIRI to make a call, quickly set a timer when I'm in the kitchen or immediately get an incoming text message. Maybe Shelley can answer this, but I doubt you can listen to a text message on the cordless phone and I'm not sure if you can activate SIRI with it. I haven't had a landline at my house for 3 years or so and find it very convenient. One other thing to keep in mind with so many wireless devices nowadays is that the more you have the greater the chance for the various signals to interfere with each other.
