We've wanted something like this for years. Everybody in the family has a cell phone and the home phones never get touched. This would allow for two things:
1. Answering of all calls on the telephones installed in every room. 2. No more missing of calls because the cell is in a different part of the house. 3. No more of the mad dash to get a call and your cellphone.
I have 24/7 tech support people working for me and quite often they use the lame excuse that their cell phones cannot be heard in their homes. The smart ones forward calls to the home phone; the dumb ones just make the lives of everyone else miserable. This system would help some - though eventually we're making them use VOIP phones at home.
Or you could sign them up for grand central accounts. Free service from google. It gives them one number that can be used to ring their cell phone and home phone at the same time. Or cell/home/office at the same time.
