Fun stats, right?  According to XLINK, it is accurate and 20% of US households are doing just that by the end of this year, jumping off the landline bandwagon.  But is going all cell going to work for your family?  XLINK happens to make a product that it believes will make the transition super-easy.

Stop carrying around your cell phone

Leave it charging!  With XLINK BT, you can connect your cell phone via Bluetooth to your home phone (even without a landline).  A call comes in and is automatically transferred to your house phone via bluetooth.  Your house phone rings just like before you went all high-tech and ditched the landline.  Simple right?  It gets better.

Quick, get a kid

The XLINK BT can add up to 3 cell phones to the system, all linking up Bluetooth style.  So you, the Mrs. and you 1.5 kids can all be connected to the home phones.  The housephone will ring in 3 different sounds so you can tell if that call is worth getting up for or if you should just let it go to voicemail.  And speaking of voicemail, XLINK says their product behaves just like your cell phone, so you can check voicemail from it as well.

The XLINK BT sells for $69.99 (though, their website says $99.99) and the company offers one that bundles with your landline (if you’ve held off cutting it off) for $79.99 (though their website says $109.99).
