[Q] Use my Land Line with Android - General Questions and Answers

hello guys,
Is it possible using a computer and WiFi (or not), hardware plugin box or something to allow me to make (and receive) telephone calls using my Android phone (nexus 5) through the existing land line?
It would be more convenient if I could carry one phone and receive both home phone and mobile phone calls. Also I want to make outgoing calls and have it use my home phone connection for the reduced charges and the correct caller ID.
I'm OK with using WiFi LAN , but I don't want to use the internet connection, I want it to go through the hardware phone line that the phone company put in. Is there such a solution?

You need a "Fritz!Box" router + "Fritz!phone" app. Thats all

VOIP whilst connecting to PC via USB

I have my phone working with voipstunt so I can make calls via my wifi network. However, I want to be able to use VOIP whilst I have my phone connected to my laptop using the USB cable. Why? Sometimes wifi is not available but a wired connection is, and I would like to be able to use my phone to make voipcalls.
When I connect my phone via USB I can browse the internet on it without a problem, I just can't find a way to make a voip call.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks
up! i'd know it too!
I have the same problem,resolved using WMwifirouter..In fact If you try to use Fring or Nimbuzz they can't connect with activesync net condivision(it's a LAN,maybe voip programs use WIFI connection),while you can browse the web without problems..Because (I think) your phone isn't directly connected through wifi..Using this program your phone is connected to your wlan net and your phone complete the login..Hope it's useful

How to forward CID to your PC?

With all this technology, I was looking for a tool to make my laptop receive calls from my cell phone. Basically turning my laptop into a Bluetooth headset.
I want to see Caller ID pop-up, and then use my laptops built in mic / speakers.
There should be software for Vista out there that will allow a Bluetooth if not a USB connection to allow the laptop to act as the receiving device. I just cant find any software.
Does anyone know of anything?

your title should be a bit more specific in the title. someone might think your talking about cid of device(carrier-id). just a bit of info that will help u get a bit more attention.
if ur laptop has bluetooth i believe with a program and proper profile(handsfree) on the laptop you can do it.
How to forward Caller ID to laptop...like in cars
I figure there must be a program to use for Bluetooth Windows phones. I cant imagine what would be so difficult if cars can take Bluetooth phone connections, why cant laptops?
Then to take it a step further, we could use IP Phones to answer calls while at home. Cell phones would forward via Bluetooth to the PC's and then be answered via IP Phones.
I know there are already Bluetooth Cordless phones, But I dont see any options like IP phones which can serve as an extnesion to the PC / laptop cellular connection.
You can always pair your device up with your laptop and use your laptops speaker/mic to use the phone.
You can always use a VOIP Cordless Phone, plenty of them around.
Really? I also have the HTC Tilt. I was looking for a solution at home to replace my land line. I want to use the Tilt to pass calls to my PC, which will then pass calls to my VOIP phones. I didnt think there was a solution available as of yet.
What software are you using to use your PC as a mic/speaker phone for your cell?

App for controling second Phone calls via BT

Hi, some time ago I bumped on a program on WM that was able to control and forward my second phone (ericsson t610) calls via BT to my primary headset. Since I'm using 2 sim cards for my personal and business calls I really hate dealing with 2 phones. Can you direct me to a program that can connect to my stupid second phone and can take and make calls via BT, so my second phone sits in my pocket while I control it whit my HTC HD.
P.S. If there is any possible way of connect via INTERNET to my 2nd phone and use it by TCP/IP or voice over ip somehow it will be even better because I have 3G internet connection pack to my Operator and quite a lot of MB to waste. Of course we should think of a way to connect my second phone (or just sim) to a home internet connection.
Thanks in advance guys, you are the best!
Guys? Anybody?

[Q] how to get Android phone (or any other phone) working with windows dialer?

I currently get a really cheap contract call deal on my mobile phone calls and would like to use it for making business calls. I currently use SAGE ACT for my customer database, and with my current setup I am able to dial customers on mouse click. SAGE ACT interfaces with the windows dialer software that dials out though a modem connected to my landline and enables me to talk with a headset on the PC. My question is does anyone know how to setup an android phone with windows dialer so I can automatically dial customers from a database and use a headset? I really don’t want to have to manually dial calls from the database on the phone and physically hold the phone? If it is not possible to get this working with an Android phone, does anyone know of any other phones that may enable me to do this?

Hey there, back then i use to pair a blackberry pearl 8100 with my laptop and used it as a bluetooth modem, from there i set up Act to dial through the blackberry modem, i then paired my bluetooth headset with the phone and i was able to make calls directly from Act, i was also hoping i could do this with my hd2 and android installed but so far i haven't found a solution, i tried pdanet which is an app for android that can be used as a bluetooth modem but so far i still cant dial out in act or windows dialer, i think theres some missing drivers but so far i still havent found any drivers that will enable this to work, im hoping someone out there has a solution.

[Q] Wifi Tether and texting

I am curious about the way the android system can communicate text messages with a pc. Using PDAnet, I know that it is possible to receive and send text messages on my windows desktop, while simultaneously surfing the net. Would it be possible to implement a similar system into one of the various wifi tethering apps? Maybe even make phone calls from my pc and send them through my cell line using my laptops wifi? With 4G speeds I can see more people using their cell phones as their daily use routers, and a program like this would make it more convenient to communicate while leave your phone in a central location in the home or office. Just wondering if anyone can shed some insight into this. Thanks!
