Conclusions
It is our conclusion that this is a much-needed device solves all of the problems that we encountered using our cell phones at home. You can keep your cell phone in one place where you can easily find it when you are on your way out the door and where you might be more prone to remember to charge it. You can extend your best cell coverage throughout the house. It allows you to have several phones throughout the house that all ring when your cell phone rings.

The Link-to-Cell performed with the clarity and reception promised. Yet, it had problems that will be deal-breakers for many, including poor documentation, a complex menu system, and the ability to only talk on only one line at a time.

Also, the unit itself is prone to problems like confusion with voice mail and connections that are difficult to re-establish when lost. If you get it working properly with your cell phones, you will be pleased. If not, the glitches may cause you more grief than it is worth.

This is one device where you may want to wait for the next version, when hopefully, Panasonic will solve some of the hiccups. If you feel this is a device that could really be helpful to you right now, be sure to purchase from a source that will allow you to return the unit, just in case. The Link-to-Cell in its current state is a bit of a two-faced device. Some will love it. Some will hate it.

Pros
  • Lets you keep your cell phone in one place for easy retrieval and charging
  • Good clarity
  • Lets you place your cell phone in the area that has the best reception and allows you to get that reception throughout your home
  • With additional cordless handsets, it lets you hear your cell ring throughout the house

Cons

  • Very poor documentation
  • Glitchy
  • Can be used only with Panasonic cordless handsets
  • You can only talk on the landline or 1 cell phone at a time
  • Not compatible with all cell phones
  • Supports only two cell phones
  • Short delay when connecting
