Docking Stations for Cellphones to Allow Home Phone Usage

Is anyone aware of docking stations for any of the SprintPCS
cellphones that allow them to be used with your existing home phone
systems? I've seen these available for Motorola and Nokia phones and
noticed that Cingular is providing an accessory that does this. I
would get rid of my $40/month home phone and use my cellphone if I had
such a docking station that would allow convenient use of my Siemens
phone system at home w/o having to carry around my cellphone.

There are two separate kinds of things you may have confused.

1. Cingular docking station: Automatically forwards cell calls to home phone #
and saves on your minutes. A small monthly free applies.

2. Cell Phone docking stations: Allows use of wired home phones as extensions
of cell phone, this system would allow for eliminating wireline # and bill.


Presumably dock could be placed wherever in house best signal is received in
either case.

Thanks for the clarification. I am looking for the second item, but
haven't located anything yet for Sprint users. I must have
misunderstood the Cingular offering.

Regards,
Dave
