Bluetooth Connectivity for your Landline and Cell Phone!

I just used some Staples rewards credit to get a new phone system for the studio. It’s pretty cool — you can actually link your cell phone to the system so that you can make and receive cell calls from the handset. This particular product is made by Panasonic, and you can expand the system by up to 6 additional handsets. It’s a Panasonic KX-TG6583T system. In addition to linking two unique cell phones, you can also use a headset with the system.

I admit, the primary reason I ended up with this particular phone unit was because of the cell linking capability. But, the secondary features that sold me on it were the included voicemail system, and that the main unit base has a speakerphone unit. Finally, you can even *block* calls from those annoying telemarketers that always seem to interrupt you at the worst times.

Once the handsets finish charging (initial charge time takes about seven hours), I’ll test this thing out and see how good the cell phone call functionality actually is. I’m expecting good things… hopefully I won’t be disappointed!
