Got Gigaset One to get rid of my land line. Was a little worried about product because of poor customer service ratings. Customer support is poor, when you get through to them, which is difficult. Good news, set up was easy, had it working with cordless phone and cell phone in 5 minuets. Next day after I had land line stopped I spent an hour trying to get all my phones to work. Customer service was backed up and no help. After rereading manual and remembering the two line adapter Customer service the day before told me I needed, I got all to work. A line diagram of different hook up options would be a big help. Was not obvious in instructions which line to use form Gigaset. One line from top plug to wall using two line adapter at wall and hooking cordless phone to wall adapter also. Set works great cell phone and all six house wired and cordless phones work.

This device does what it claims. We got rid of our land line - "porting" the land line number to an additional cell phone (non-smart phone) line we got for $10/month, then sync'd it to this device. All phones in the house function fine over this device. There is one HUGE draw back however. While it saves us money... there is a trade off. If you call a number that requires a menu response (i.e. "press 1 for english") it will not recognize any input EXCEPT from the cell phone sync'd... no other phones on the network can respond to prompts.

This device certainly does what it should, it allows you to hook up ordinary phones to your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.So if you want to dump your pricey landline, this device is recommended to do that.But I collect vintage phones, which unfortunately will not work on my landline (VOIP line from the Dutch ISP Ziggo), since it's not analog. Fortunately with this device, only the ringer cable inside the PTT plug had to be moved to another pin (that pin has more voltage), and the phone works fine! Nothing is as good as an old phone, and being able to replace holding my cellphone in the home is certainly something someone like me would want. Except that it can be a little static-y at times, and there can be a delay every now and then (but I believe the cellphone is the one causing that), this device is great for what I wanted it for, so 4 stars.

This is the device I've been waiting for. I was a bit leery of all of the negative reviews but decided to go for it since one guy with an iphone said it worked great. Easy setup, paired right up with my iphones. Outgoing calls were great, with or without a phone line. But anytime I tried to call inbound, either on the phone line or the cell phone, all of the lights would blink out on the unit, and it would go brain dead. It acts like it drops power and resets whenever it tries to ring the phones. Thinking maybe my 6 house phones were overloading it, I plugged just one phone into it, but got the same thing. If no phone was plugged in, it was fine and stayed on, but how would you know a call was coming in? I've seen several other reviews with exactly the same problem, and unfortunately I have to add mine to the pile. It will be going back to Amazon.
