With Septembe being National Preparedness month, this provides families with a good reminder to revive their checklist for emergency situations. With water and food at the top of the emergency list, it’s also important to make sure your communication is up-to-date, especially when you need to reach a 911 operator. While most people have the ‘do-it-all’ smartphones with them 24/7, cordless phones also offer the best voice quality and dependable communication—no dropped calls or fighting for cell tower space.
Offering consumers the best of both worlds for cellular and landline phones, VTech’s DS6421-3 and AT&T’s TL92271 Connect-to-Cell™systems are the solution to ensure that you are ready for the next emergency. Especially for those that rely primarily on mobile phones but experience problems with spotty reception at home/office, or have trouble hearing their cells from another room, now consumers can enjoy benefits of landline and cellular phones at the same time. Both systems make and receive cellular calls, but offer the security and superior call clarity of a landline phone– ideal for immediate communication in emergencies.

My Take on the Phone
What was interesting about this phone was the concept of a landline phone that connects directly to your cell service, which provides you with a great option, especially if you are a household that only has cell service in your home. Because this phone is connected through blu-tooth technology, you can even download your contacts from your cell onto this phone. This process was so easy and I found that the contacts moved so easily to the phone that I was able to try.
Once connected I found that as long as I placed the phone where you receive good cell signal this phone provides you with very clear service. If you plan to use the connect to cell service function, you do need to make sure that you have either unlimited service or a lot of minutes as you can definitely use this phone quite a bit.
The other nice thing about this phone was that if you do not want to use the cell phone service you can also connect this phone to a land line letting you use the best of both services!
The phone is very easy to use and to set up and for the price this offers families with great flexibility as well as peace of mind to know that you will have a communication plan set up when you need it!
