I find that a lot of people get poor cellular reception in their homes. A couple of weeks ago I talked about a way to overcome this using a
wireless extender which boosts cellular frequencies into indoor enclosures. Another more affordable way to improve indoor reception is with the use of a
bluetooth enabled cordless phone. These cordless phones often allow you to connect at least 2 cellular lines to your cordless phone using bluetooth technology. You can use the cordless phone with a cellular line exclusively, no land line is needed. Simply put the cellphone in the part of the house where you get the best reception, usually near a window. If you get absolutely no reception in your home at all, you should get a
wireless extender.
So which bluetooth cordless phone should you get? One of the best on the market right now is the
AT&T EP5632 5.8 GHz Digital BlueTooth Enabled Cordless Phone. Besides allowing you to link up to 2 cellular lines, it also allows you to have a conference call between both cellular lines and a landline. The menu is color, customizable, and icon-driven for added configuration simplicity. The EP5632 features selectable ringtones, a lighted keypad, and a spare battery charger. Comes with one handset and is expandable up to 12.
