Setting up a cellular home phone
Can anyone recommend a procedure for converting my landline home phone to a cellular number. I currently have a Panasonic 7 phone extension system.
T-Mobile's version of the landline service you are talking about was called LineLink. It is not offered anymore so your alternative is to port the number onto a cell phone. I did that with my childhood landline (still amazed that I have been able to keep that number for almost 30 years) and it has been great. The phone is still portable so we can use it anywhere in the home, and I know that my kids have a way to connect to the world without having "their own phone."
Is there something in particular about the home phone that you are trying to keep other than just the phone number?
I want to use my existing home phone base and extensions on a mobile platform while maintaining my existing mobile number. With the new dual sim capabilities I could have a my home phone and cell number on 2 separate lines on my iPhone. With a home cellular number I could receive home comes while I'm away or on my home extensions when I am at home.
Verizon and I believe AT&T offer home phone mobile base stations that can be tied in with your home phone.
