Helps Use Cell Phones Like Land Lines - With Some FlawsNovember 16, 2008 Grace Digital XLink Bluetooth Device comes in two versions: ITC-BTTN with which you can use a land line in addition to Bluetooth cell phone; and ITC-BT whcih pairs with only Bluetooth cell phones and has no provision for land line.
They both can make cell phones work just like land lines. Once your Bluetooth cell phone is paired to Xlink, your other phones work just like land line handsets and you can use your cell phones in multiple rooms with multiple cordless handsets. You can pair up to 3 cell phones with each Xlink unit; and one land line in addition on BTTN. Xlink finds a new use for old landline handsets.
Although it works, Xlink is not flawless. Once your cell phone is paired, you cannot receive the call on cell phone itself because you do not hear the audio, you have to pick up the call on other non-cell paired handset; but there are no audio problems with outgoing calls from cellular handset.
There is also a second or two delay in hearing sound on incoming and outgoing calls. Cell phone pairing does not take place automatically each time after the initial pairing. Caller ID does not show up on the cordless handsets although it shows whether the call is on cell phone or land line.
My original purpose in ordering this unit was to see if I can replace 3 business land lines with 3 cheaper cell phone lines but after using it for a month I am not sure if it works like good old reliable land lines. There are other new Bluetooth cordless units that pair with cell phones but as of November 2008, Xlink is the only device of its kind that lets you use your old land line handsets with cell phone.
Easy hook upNovember 3, 2008 The hook up was very easy, and when I come home, the xlink hooks itself up right away. I need to get in the habbit of leaving my phone near it though. I tend to leave my phone in my pocket so the phone beeps all the time as I move in and out of bluetooth range. I have ours hooked up to an answering machine so I can leave messages for my kids too. It works out really handy for keeping in touch when you might oterwise be away from your cell phone. The whole house rings and the rings are easily identified so we know who the call is for. I like it. Only draw back is that sometimes the calls have an echo and I don't know why. Maybe just a bad cell connection? Time will tell.
Questionable benefitsNovember 2, 2008 Although this product does do what it says the reception is often poor. I have only used it on one make of wireless phones so I can only speak for them. I do like it's features. If reception was better I would have given it five stars.
Cool product!!October 28, 2008 Hate the cellphone burn when talking for extended periods and this is great. Better than other similar products because you can have 3 phones connected at the same time. Setup was so easy, I didn't think it was going to work, although it took me awhile to find where I stored my landline phones. Tried 3 phones at the same time and their rings were distinguishable. Sometimes I have to remove the device and relink because it keeps connecting and disconnecting, but maybe an update to the xlink would help.
Pleasantly surprised by this productOctober 24, 2008 I gave up my land line and got tired of running to find my cell phone when it rang. I bought Xlink, plugged into to my existing digital home phone base unit, connected my cell phone to Xlink via bluetooth, and IT WORKED!! Occasionally I have had a garbled connection - therefore, four stars instead of five. This product has made my transition to "no land line" very smooth. It's a bit pricey, but I'm pleased with the result.
