I suppose it wouldn't be too bad an idea here, as we don't have your 
issues. But it would sure be inconvenient. Although our house isn't 
large, it's a bit spread out. So we have a wireless phone set-up with 
three handsets, base station-charging station-answering machine in the 
kitchen and charging stations in living room and master bedroom.

As a whole, it works very well. One handset is mostly Carol's and has 
her numbers, etc. on it, another is mostly mine and one is shared. One 
can almost always find a phone to answer quickly.

It also has stuff like caller ID, call waiting and ID at all handsets, 
intercom, answering machine operation from any handset, etc. Going to 
two cell phones and a simple, no feature landline - and three different 
numbers, would be a great deal less functional.

I've been trying to figure out a way around this. What's really needed 
is a base station/cell charger with multi handset capacity into which 
one plugs the cell phone when at home. That would save us lots of money.
