XLINK Xtreme Technologies New BT Bluetooth Gateway

Worked great. Hooked it up to a rotary phone and had the teenagers to make a phone call.

Amazing device - works with several of my vintage telephones. My western electric model 500 works perfectly along with my 1987 cordless telephone. Supports caller ID as well. Because this works with both Android and iPhone, I am able to take teams and zoom calls with this. The reaction to colleagues hearing me on either vintage phone is priceless.

About a year ago, I decided I was sick of cell phones and wanted to be able to talk on a "real, old-fashioned" phone. At first I bought a MagicJack and plugged it into my computer, which worked fine with an 2002 SW Bell phone I bought on Ebay. However, when I decided to switch to a 1978 Princess phone (not the one in the picture, which I have since traded for the yellow, 2003 Crosley Princes repro), I found that the phone emitted a high-pitched whine when hooked up to the MagicJack. Since I had really fallen in love with the idea of a Princess phone, I began to search for a MagicJack alternative. After considering a variety of options, I decided that since, for practical reasons, I can't really ditch my cell phone entirely, this XLink BT2 might fit the bill. And it does! So easy to set up: just plug in the XLink to a power supply, plug the phone into the XLink, and push one of the buttons to pair it (via Bluetooth) with my mobile phone. In fact, it is paired with two different phones. It worked great with my original Princess phone and now works great with my Crosley Princess reproduction. When my cell phone and I are out and about, (out of Bluetooth range) my "real" phone doesn't ring, so it's not a bother to others in the house. Sound is very good, and I can use it to answer any calls that come in on my cell phone, including those that ring my MagicJack android app and my Google Voice app -- so it's like having an entire switchboard attached to my little Princess. I wish I'd done this a year ago.

Mes anciens téléphones fonctionnent comme quand ils étaient sur ligne fixe. Configuration BT ultra simple. Plug and play!

Super easy to set up. Just press one button and pair it with a cell phone. My old rotary phone works just like it did in 1970. Pick up the receiver and hear a dial tone. Dials out and receives calls just like it is designed to do. It automatically reconnects to my cell phone when I pull in the driveway. I'm not sure of the max range, but it connects from my bedroom, through the walls of my home, and another 30 feet out to my car. Sound quality is just as good as your cell phone sound quality. My clarity and quality of the sound received and transmitted is perfect. With this model you can link up to two different cell phones via Bluetooth, so if either receives a call the old rotary phone can be used. I love the nostalgia. I'm thinking of getting one for my car to impress my friends lol.
