So, has anyone made a “old school smartphone dock”?
What I want is a dock I can put my smartphone into and then the old phone interface takes over. Preferably one with links to 1-2 other docks in the house so all three ring if I get a call.
Pick up the physical receiver, say hello. Talk. Say goodbye, hangup. No screen interaction at all.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThat's... genius! It's so obvious now that you wrote it. I'd love to have one at my desk, and another at my nightstand.
- bblough 7y agoThe cordless phone system I have lets you make/receive calls via your cell phone from any handset in the house. It connects via Bluetooth, so isn't a dock, but the functionality is similar to what you're suggesting. Mine is an older Panasonic system, but I'd be surprised if other manufacturers didn't offer something similar.

- bblough 7y agoYes, mine is very similar. Though, (and I should have mentioned this in my original comment, sorry) I've never actually used the functionality in question, so I don't know how well it actually works.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoThere are Bluetooth units with telephone jacks on them that can connect to your phone. A friend was considering getting one to connect to his old wall-mounted dial phone. I don't know what they're called or how well they work.
