Cell2jack - Cellphone to Home Phone Adapter - Make and Receive Cell Phone Call on Your landline Phone Free, Plastic, Carnelian

the device provide an amazing and swift integration between mobile phone and old rotary phones (or any other dial phones). no programing is required and ringing quality is good, I used it with socotel 63, worked like a charm. however I cannot use it for dialing. after referring back the problem to Cell2jack support team, they confirmed that in this stage their support and focus is on US market and they are adopting their dialing conventions. currently I am not using it awaiting any further updates to add a leading zero dialing function.

Bluetooth not pairing

I will start out this review by saying I do still have landline telephone service at my house. But recently I took possession of an old landline telephone that belonged to a family member, and wanted a way to use it via Bluetooth with my smartphone. The cell2jack does exactly what I need it to do. The phone I tested this with was a 1970s touch tone desk phone (I do NOT currently own any rotary dial phones with modular (RJ11) jacks, so while cell2jack says that this WILL work with those phones, I don't have a way to test that (yet)). Pairing is simple: just plug the USB cable (which is admitting short) into a wall adapter like the one you use with your smartphone (they do NOT include one in the box... you have to supply your own, which isn't a big deal, and while the included USB cable is short, you can swap it out for ANY USB cable if you need a longer one), plug your RJ11 cord into both your phone and the cell2jack (also not included, but that's expected), and then take your landline phone off-gook, and dial #*# (a voice prompt will tell you to pair it to use it). Then just select it within your smartphone's Bluetooth devices, and connect to it. The cell2jack essentially turns your landline phone into a Bluetooth headset for your smartphone. One thing I will say about the cell2jack is that I believe there is supposed to be a dial tone emitted from the landline phone connected to it (just as if you were using a regular landline), but I got no dial tone when I picked up the receiver. However, the touch tones still worked, and the calls were patched through to my smartphone immediately. This may cause confusion for some. Receiving calls works well, and the mechanical bell ringer on my vintage landline phone started ringing at the same time my smartphone did. In both cases (making and receiving calls), when I hung up the handset of my vintage landline phone, the cell2jack disconnected and ended the call on my smartphone almost immediately, which is great. I haven't yet connected the cell2jack to a landline phone with built-in Caller ID, so I'm not sure if the CID information from my smartphone would pass through to a connected landline (I will be trying this in the near future). You can apparently also hook the cell2jack directly to an RJ11 telephone jack in your house, and ALL landline phones in your house connected to other RJ11 jacks will work together as if you had landline service. This is also something I have not yet tried, and don't have any intention to, as I have landline service as well. Another feature I haven't tried yet and would like to try is the built in pass-thru for a smartphone's voice assistant (i.e. Siri or Google Gemini). I will have to try that soon as well. Finally, I love how small the device is. I'd assume that, if you had enough space inside the casing of your landline phone, you could put the cell2jack right inside of it and hide it, although sitting behind or right next to your landline, it still looks good. Whether you're a vintage telephone collector, or just want to keep your landline phones hooked up after you disconnect your landline service, the cell2jack delivers. Sure there are more expensive devices like this out there, but the cell2jack delivers on what you'd expect one to do for a great price. Highly recommended!

Wow works so well, I love it. I love being able to use old school phones and just have it connected to my mobile. When I’m at home I can leave my mobile on silent in another room and know my rotary phone will ring if someone calls. Great idea

I don’t often write reviews but this product really works. Setup was effortless (using old iPhone and Panasonic cordless phone with 2 base stations). Call quality is acceptable, what one would expect from earlier generations of Bluetooth earpieces - relatively clear but not exceptional. There is a slight lag before the recipient’s phone rings when calling out but less so when calling in. Overall, very much value for money.

El único problema que he detectado es que no permite cortar la llamada entrante no iniciada desde el teléfono no celular. Es un problema menor. Respecto al alcance del Bluetooth para que el celular se conecte al dispositivo indican que debe estar al lado uno del otro pero en mi caso he probado a más de 10 metros en habitaciones diferentes y seguía funcionando. Por lo demás funciona según lo que prometen.
