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 think I know what you are talking about. I just don't reber what it was called. It's a box that goes on the side of your house that connects to the phone line wiring. The smaller versions could go inside, plugged into an outlet, and had a couple.of phone Jack's on them. I.haven't seen those in years though and I don't think T-Mobile ever offered those. You still would have needed to port the land-line number to a SIM card that goes in the main device.
