[Shop-talk] Bluetooh to RJ-11 phone line adaptor

[eric at megageek.com]

I had a Panasonic system before and I loved it.  This would be perfect, 
but it only has 5 handsets. 

I currently have eight in the house and six in the shop.  (Both of my 
vtech systems are maxed.)

I really don't understand why they have such low limits on number of 
handsets.

Unfortunately, there is no range extenders for vtech.

For several years, I had a Uniden 5.8GHz cordless system (ELBT-585 - 
http://a.co/26oI645) that would pair with my mobile. Coverage was good, 
but it didn't quite go as far as I wanted it to. After about 8 years of 
service (when it refused to pair with newly-acquired more modern cell 
phones) that system was relegated to secondary duty.

I searched for another system that had the same ability to pair to my 
mobile - and came up with the Panasonic system I have now:

The range on this DECT system was good, but still didn't quite go as far 
as I wanted, so I added two (the maximum allowed by the system) of their 
DECT range extenders: http://a.co/bddEqEI

The system can have up to 6 handsets, and will pair with two bluetooth 
phones simultaneously. In case of a power outage, the base will use the 
handset in its cradle for power, and the base has a USB port for charging 
an attached phone. The range extenders seamlessly provide a lot more 
range. It all works perfectly for us. It can even pass-through your 
mobile's ringtone. Every handset has a very good speakerphone capability 
as well.

If you can get just enough signal to a range extender that can provide 
coverage in your shop, one of these cordless handsets would work fine all 
the way from the house to the shop.
