MacinJosh Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Today, Sprint announced the Sprint Phone Connect 3 with a feature I'm sure some people will love: Bluetooth connect to your phone to answer calls on your cordless phone if it's closer than your cell. Announcement is here: http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/devices-apps-and-services/third-generation-sprint-phone-connect-lets-you-connect-answer-mobile-phone-calls-with-home-phone.htm Pricing is simple: $6.25/mo on Easy Pay with a credit of $6.25/mo on your account if activated on a Sprint Phone Connect Plan. Hopefully it'll include fax capabilities so it can be a true landline replacement, but I won't hold my breath. Anyone thinking of getting one?

If it does have fax capability, therefore being a "true" landline replacement, I will definitely consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things will never be a "true" landline replacement until they can tap into the Caller ID databases to show the names of the callers, not just numbers. That alone would make me never want to buy one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Some of us surprisingly still use fax machines, especial since we deal with people who don't know how to scan and email documents yet.

You can just use hangouts with a google voice number and be 100% voip at no cost with extremely low international rates. The VOIP quality is rather good.

Vonage is the only service I have been able to fax with consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdfgf Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It would be tough to replace vonage for me with this, but if I was in an area without reliable broadband this would be a serious consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk We still have a fax machine in our house! I'd say we send at least 2-3 faxes a month, which I consider to be quite high for the year 2014!
