I have something like that for my cordless landline phone but it also
does bluetooth. I can walk outside over to my neighbors house and still
get a connection. The problem is that some people I've been talking to,
mainly at work, complain that they can't hear me. I can hear them fine
so I'm not sure what that's about. I'm starting to have the same
problem with my home cordless phone on speakerphone when on conference
calls. I sort of think it's the phone that initiated the call on the
other end that has the problem, the one in a conference room where
people are listening on its speaker. If everyone is on individual phones
no one complains they can't hear me.
