Cell to land line adapter?

petsy

Are there any adapters out there that will enable one to use a cellular phone with a land line hybrid? Cell hooked up to regular phone input on hyrid, calling with the cell and using the hybrid in the same way you usually would.

I'm thinking this would be nice for remote work where land lines are not available. GSM/3G, whatever.
 
Another option is a "dock" for a cell phone that can be routed into your phone system. Have used these before.
 
We use telular box's for our transmitter remote control in areas where the land lines can be flaky but cell service can be had with the proper antenna. its spits out a normal dial tone just like a POTS line. But for a remote call in type scenario i would say to recored it and send it to the station via cell data or use some other type of data connection(tieline,comrex access, ect..) The quality will be allot better than a POTS or Cell call.

If you're going that way, I'd suggest the Tellular. Another thought would be however to get the right plan and add your studio lines as "friends and family" numbers or "your group" numbers, etc. Many of the carriers anymore let you pick a few numbers that you can get free calls to and from. Then you could just pick a lower minute plan and go for it. I would think the quality would be much better from Cell to landline instead of Cell to cell as the coding would only be on one end. Cellular these days sounds terrible just with one hop.
 
I have also heard on some other forum recently of a device that may be similar to the Telular that is being offered by Verizon Wireless called Verizon Home. I think the deal is if you sign up for a 2 year contract the device is discounted at $29.99 or otherwise it's month to month.
I haven't tested it myself but I'm thinking cell carriers usually offer some short trial period where you can test if it works for you.
