Saving you from the phone dash | VTech Connect to Cell
Ring, ring.
Oh no, I’m expecting a call. And I’m upstairs. And my phone is downstairs.
Quick. Set the toddler down. Close the gate so she stays upstairs. Grab the handrail and sprint down the stairs hoping not to trip on anything sitting on the stairs.
Blaloop.
And missed the call.
Darn it.
Not anymore. We are now using the VTech Connect to Cell. We can have one upstairs and one downstairs. It easily connected to 2 cell phones via bluetooth in record time (seriously, push a button on he main phone base, and turn the bluetooth on our your cell phone). Then they connect. You can see on the phone they are connected because you’ll see the bluetooth symbol and the 1 and/or 2 depending on which phone is connected.
We don’t have any dead zones in our house, but I know a lot people near me do. So you can set your cell phone in a place where you are certain to get service, and then connect it to the VTech Connect to Cell and you now have the same response as having a landline, but without one. If you do have a landline, you can also set it up to the phone as well. (We don’t have one, so it says “no line.”
When you receive a call on your cell phone, the VTech Connect to Cell also rings and tells you which phone the call is coming from. You can also sync your contacts so their name shows up as well (only 200). Thus ending your mad dash to find and answer your phone.
To recap, some of the great features:
- Make and Receive Landline and Cellular Calls Connect to BLUETOOTH® wireless technology-enabled cellular phones to make and receive cellular calls with the ease and comfort of a home phone system. Avoid the mad dash to catch a cellular call before it goes to voicemail.
- Eliminate Cell Phone Dead Spots at Home Just place the base unit where cellular reception is best. Then enjoy the freedom to make and receive cell calls using your cordless handsets anywhere in your home.
- Download and Store Your Cell Phone Directory Store 200 directories from up to two different cell phones; no need to input names and numbers into your phone.
Check out the Connect to Cell website to see if it might be a good solution for you.
How often do you do the mad dash to find your phone and answer it, only to miss the call?
Thanks to VTech for sponsoring today’s discussion.
this is a great idea. I always get calls while my phone is charging and of course it’s at the back of the house and I am in the kitchen.
That’s so neat! I’ve never seen anything quite like this before – genius!
What an interesting product, I never knew they even had these. Sounds very beneficial if you have an upstairs & downstairs. Thank you for sharing!
This is really neat! We don’t have a home phone cus we got sick of all the crap political and socialite calls we were getting. But if we get one again it may be this one!
This is perfect for busy mamas!
I have a V-Tech phone as well but the Connect to Cell sounds awesome and very convenient.
I reviewed one of these units too and I LOVE it! I have a landline so the bluetooth headset is amazing. I can get so much more done when I’m on the phone for a long time now that my hands are free.
I think that is just about the most awesome thing I’ve seen this week! I can never find any of my phones–land lines or cell. This would really help me. I shared this on Pinterest!
Oh I love that! I really could use that since I am outside in the backyard a lot and can not hear the phone in the house, but my cell phone is always in my pocket.
Long phone calls on a cell phone are the pits. It’s awesome that this phone has this feature.
now that is pretty cool.
thanks for the heads up
i have this phone- i LOVE it. i love the headset more than i should, but its marvelous.
Oh my gosh!! I think I need this! I am moving soon and haven’t spent much time in the house but I think I have some dead spots! I didn’t even know they made these phones!! I’m going to check them out and put them on my amazon wish list!!
Wow! These would be great for my home! We have dead zones here and there sometimes, but too often my phone is on one floor when I am on the other.
this would be great for me. i always have my ringer off accidentally!
What a fantastic idea. I hate when my cell phone rings downstairs. And I am up with the kids.
VTech phones are such great items. for smoe reason, if I’m doing anything else, it seems that I can’t hear my phone ring. Maybe I’m just not listening for it.
That is a really neat idea. We have major dead spots in our house except in the master bedroom so my cell is always in there. I miss a lot of calls because of it.
I can totally see myself using this. I hate answering my landline.
What a great concept for home phone lines! I never get to ours in time.
I have one of these and it is great. I love not having to search for my cell phone all the time.
I have a VTech phone but it’s not the Connect to Cell. One of these would be really neat.
We’ve used a connect to cell system before and I loved how convenient it made handling the phone! Definitely important with a busy home life!
VTech makes amazing products. We always had VTech phones in our home. 🙂
I definitely need this! What a useful product!
I guess I just think it’s silly. But it looks cool. I’d never use it though. I don’t talk on the phone.
That is really cool!!

Our whole building is a dead zone so this would be great!
OMG! I need one of these. Half of the handsets are usually dead or MIA in my house and I am always sprinting for the one handset actually working.
Looks amazing!
Wow this sounds like an awesome producer. If I had a landline I wouLD definitely give this a try.
This looks like a great gadget to have around! I hate missing important calls!
