| Femtocells and POTS
I wonder, is there a way to tie a femtocell into a POTS line? You know, using the POTS line as a trunk?
For one, I plan to keep my POTS indefinitely. Nothing else affordable measures up to the reliability that's provided. Line power is a good thing too.
However, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't be interested in gaining additional mileage out of the POTS line.
If the femtocell is just VOIP, is there a way to tie it into an Asterisk server, or even some other VOIP provider?
Of course, I'm sure that there's no technical reason why this can't be done.... |

1 edit |   During the year 2003 Cingular offered a service to Bellsouth Subscribers. The subscriber purchased a special charger holder. When the subscriber plugged their TDMA Handset into the holder, calls to the handset automatically forwarded to their land line. The subscriber was not charged wireless usage when calls were forwarded to the land line. I believe that there was a monthly charge for the feature. The holder was specific to the subscribers handset model. If the subscriber changed handsets they had to purchase a different holder.
In 2006 I purchased a home in an area where Sprint owned the local telephone company. Sprint offered a service where I could forward my Sprint Wireless phone to my land line at no wireless usage charge. There may have been a monthly charge for the service. Unfortunately when Sprint spun off their land line business as Embarq, that option was withdrawn. |

| Cingular's (or whatever name) offering was called FastForward. One of the best ideas I've come across and continuing proof that they can find a way to screw up most anything.
The Charger was able to "read" any one of three (I think) numbers programmed in your address book as FF1, FF2 or FF3 rather than a "name". There is/was a switch on the charger that could be set to...duh...1 or 2 or 3.
I have used it since it came out. Still do...and have three additional charger units in case my original breaks.
