Give Your Mobile Phone That Old Time Feel
Saturday, May 03, 2008
Chances are, you've got a mobile phone. Do you have a landline too? An increasing number of people are ditching their land lines for mobile phones. They could also be ditching their landline for VoIP service also.
If you miss the days where you had to hold a receiver up to your head or you're afraid the various reports about cell phone radiation being bad for you are true, then you might want to have a look at this thing called the P*PHONE from Hulger.
What does it do? It plugs into your headset jack on your mobile phone. It also includes adapters for a number of different headset plugs, so it should plug into just about anything--including your computer. Not without an extra purchase, of course (e.g. the Hulger USB*ADAPTOR). Once you've done that, it is possible for this headset to be plugged into a computer and used with any VoIP client, such as the one that voip.com makes available.
The next question, of course, is where are you going to put the handset when you're done? Hulger has an answer for that, too: the P*BASE. It apparently includes the USB*ADAPTOR and gives you a place to hang up your old school headset.
What's missing here? The old ma-bell ringer. Surprised Hulger hasn't created a solution for that.
