What tames my enthusiasm about bluetooth though is its maximum range is said to be 20'. Gimme a wifi phone.
That was the point of the base station with wireless handsets. I've seen those with 3 or 4 handsets for well under $100. They are intended to be used as house extensions while your cell phone is charging near the base. And at least some take a landline too.
Les,
I'm not understanding the role your cellular phone is playing here.
That's just what the base station with remote extensions are designed to use because they are common. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-KX-TG7623B-Bluetooth-Cordless-3-Handset/dp/t...
Maybe I misunderstood - I thought they could use the cell phone's connection for calls, and you could possibly replace that with a GV->asterisk-bluetooth path but maybe these go the other way and use the cell phones as extensions.
This description does sound like it uses the cell's in/outbound connection: http://www.frys.com/product/5916034
