How would you like to stop paying your landline phone company and use
your cell phones minutes on your home cordless or wired phone? Well you
can this CellSocket 5161N connects your cellular phone to your home
phone and allows you to receive and make calls from your cell phone.

Keep your cell phone in a location where it gets the best reception and
help limit potential radiation exposure.

Imagine getting rid of your "home" phone bill or use it as an extension
so that you can use up all your minutes.

Yeah, imagine trying to call 911 after the cell system goes tits up from
a weather disaster.

Please quote the odds on the entire cellular system going down as you
describe. Has it ever happened..? Were the landlines working, and did the
emergency services cope with the huge number of calls they must have
received..?

The Cell Socket device has its uses, although I have no requirement for
one, I can see that some might.

Oh BTW, 911 doesn't work here in the UK anyway, and despite our claim to
foul weather most of the time, we've never had anything knock out all
communications..!

The Northeast Blackout did it.

Depends where you were and at what time. It's a Stateside thing.

No "depends" about it - answer the questions:

1. Were landlines available in the area of this blackout you mention..? If
not, in what percentage of the area affected..?
2. Were mobiles available..? If not, in what percentage of the area..?
3. Did the emergency services cope with the volume of calls..? If not, how
many injuries/deaths or whatever can be directly attributed to not having
a landline available..?

The cells fried. Everyone was trying to call or get called. I seem to
recall landlines were just as swamped. It was about 5 hours before my
cell could get called without massive redials.
