Hybrid wireless/wireline phones

[Catriona]

anyone using Bluephone? or a handset that connects to your fixed line when inside your house and mobile when outside?
Do they work well? How much did it cost? Is it worth it? and if you can say who your company provider is all the better. I'm wondering if it's available in the U.S. and who's providing it.

I had not heard about it until you meantioned it. I did find an interesting article to read regarding bluephone:

Vonage sounds like they are offering an in house use phone for Wi-Fi, but not one that travels outside the network it is associated with.

I would have to say that this is not very likely to catch up with cell phones, but give it more time, and more Wi-Fi outdoor broadcasting to take place, then you may see more of it.

Are you looking to use the same phone number for your house phone as your cell phone?
