I ran across this through CEDIA, and I might try it for a month to see how well it works.

Anyone else try anything like this?

If it does work, I know a lot of people that would like to have one.

    I've heard of those- I'm kinda curious, too.

    Related: Don't suppose you've seen a dock that that boosts your cell phone signal AND lets you tie your cell phone into your house system (ie you just dump your cell phone in the dock when you get home - all the house lines use the cell phone to make calls). I saw a press release for something like that, but i've never been able to find the actual product.

    Cingular had something like that a couple of years ago. It was a dock that essentially forwared to your BellSouth/SBC(whatever) landline account and let you use your landline with your cell number, or something to that effect.

    I don't remember if you could call from the landlines though.

    I'd like to know if it works, can you let us know if you try it? I get one bar standing on the edge of my deck, and nothing in the house.

    I'm working on becoming a dealer, so I might be able to get a sample to try it. Other than that, they have a 30 day return policy, so you could always get one to try, then send it back if it doesn't work.

    You, sir, have been reported!!!!

    I'd be interesting in hearing how well it works since we've been having cell coverage issues at our house lately...

    I just talked to someone at the company, and I am going to order one this week to try. I've got several different homes/areas for testing.

    When I get it in, I'll give you a call and you can come by to check it out Matt.

    Ben,

    not sure if this was what you are looking for, but this might come in handy for a few people

    I've still got a couple small jobs to get done before I get a demo unit for the wi-ex range extender.
