Nobody wants to be the poor unfortunate soul whose cell phone starts blasting The “Family Guy” theme song during a test or office meeting. However, following proper etiquette and silencing your cell phone prior to entering class or work can have it downsides. How often have you missed a call on your mobile phone at home, either because you:
a) forgot to switch it from vibrate/silent mode back to regular volume or
b) can’t seem to find where the heck you left it
Remembering to increase the ringer volume and remembering where you left your cell phone can be quite a hassle; especially after a long day at work. But neglecting to do so can mean missing an important call from a business prospect, friend or family member.
XTreme Technologies offers a solution to this problem, in the form of the XLink BTTN Gateway. The BTTN merges your cell phone calls with your landline, so you can receive calls from both systems on your land line. If cellular reception in your home is poor, then the BTTN offers the added advantage of eliminating dependence of wireless signals. Now you have the ability to receive calls from your mobile phone without the hassle of wireless signals, on your home/office landline. The BTTN is sold for $99, but you will definitely get your money’s worth, as the product can accommodate 3 Bluetooth enabled cell phones at the same time.
The set up is simple: The unit is plugged into a standard wall outlet, and is connected to the landline system through a phone jack. The cell phone does not need any wires or plugs, it will connect wirelessly (as long as it’s located within a 30 foot vicinity from the gateway)- which is great for all you “wirephobes” out there.
So now you can silence your cell phone without any second thoughts. No need to worry about missing an important mobile call later in the day, or dealing with the headache of poor reception in your home. Decreasing the odds that your super embarrassing ringtone goes off in front of your boss is just an added advantage.
