The Xlink Bluetooth Gateway is a device that merges your home or office phone with your mobile phone. Using bluetooth technology, the device connects with up to three mobile phones and allows you to use them to receive and place calls from your home or office phone. No more having to hold your mobile phone to your ear for long periods of time. With the Xlink you can now use the comfortable telephone handset from your home or office line, or better yet, you can use a headset.
I have been using an Xlink for over two years now in my office with a Blackberry Bold and an iPhone 4S and it is very convenient. When I enter my office, my mobile phone automatically connects to the Xlink using Bluetooth and all calls are then routed to my office phone which includes a very nice headset, speakerphone and a wireless handset . It even forwards caller ID information as well to my office phone. I simply pick up my office phone when I hear it ring. When placing a call, I have the option to use my office line or my mobile phone. And if this were in a home setting, up to three mobile phones can be connected so it can accommodate multiple members of a family or is great if you are required to carry more than one mobile phone. This also allows your mobile phone to stay connected to a charger while in use.
