Customer Reviews

Good but could be better (firmware update, please)
I bought this to eliminate my house land line. Once the land line was shut off (number transferred to another cell phone, always positioned next to the XLNK), I ran the phone cord from the wall to the XLNK. Then, all the phones in the house (wired or wireless) called out and answered the cell phone. The kitchen phone has an answering machine, and that answering machine picks up - not the cell phone voicemail. (which is the way we wanted it).

Here's the problem. Calling out from a house phone to the bank or some other number that requires additional numbers to be dialed after you connect. You know, 2 for English, that kind of thing. The additional numbers dialed on any of the house phones do not "take" - I have to run over to the connected cell phone and press them in there to get them to work. I contacted the manufacturer, and they knew about the problem, but had no solution.

Be sure to get the model that works both with and without a land line - If we add a security system, we'll have to get a land line again, and I'd still like it to work. The $10 cheaper model only works WITHOUT a live land line.

Working great
Working great with my two cell phones and land line. Using it to eliminate my land line. It is doing all that it says it can, so far. Easy to update the filmware, via computer interface. It does not come with the USB cable, but a standard one works. Some calls have some echoing, but not sure if this is the xlink, or the connection. It rings only the phone it is connected to, which may be due to the wiring in my house. I resolved this by getting a 4 extention 5.8 ghz wireless phone system, which works very good with it. Pluged into the base, it will ring all the other extentions. It also allows you to access all your cell phone features via the home extention. The higher ghz keeps it from interfering with the Bluetooth signal whith is in the 2 ghz range. Would highly recommend considering the adaptations I mentioned here.

Makes Cell Phones Work Like Land Lines - With Some Flaws
Grace Digital XLink Bluetooth Device comes in two versions: ITC-BTTN with which you can use a land line in addition to Bluetooth cell phone; and ITC-BT whcih pairs with only Bluetooth cell phones and has no provision for land line.

They both can make cell phones work just like land lines. Once your Bluetooth cell phone is paired to Xlink, your other phones work just like land line handsets and you can use your cell phones in multiple rooms with multiple cordless handsets. You can pair up to 3 cell phones with each Xlink unit; and one land line in addition on BTTN. Xlink finds a new use for old landline handsets.

Although it works, Xlink is not flawless. Once your cell phone is paired, you cannot receive the call on cell phone itself because you do not hear the audio, you have to pick up the call on other non-cell paired handset; but there are no audio problems with outgoing calls from cellular handset.

There is also a second or two delay in hearing sound on incoming and outgoing calls. Cell phone pairing does not take place automatically each time after the initial pairing. Caller ID does not show up on the cordless handsets although it shows whether the call is on cell phone or land line.

My original purpose in ordering this unit was to see if I can replace 3 business land lines with 3 cheaper cell phone lines but after using it for a month I am not sure if it works like good old reliable land lines. There are other new Bluetooth cordless units that pair with cell phones but as of November 2008, Xlink is the only device of its kind that lets you use your old land line handsets with cell phone.
