Looks like the Big Red Network is focused on getting as many things announced at this year’s CTIA as humanly possible, and so far they’re doing a pretty good job. This new announcement comes in the wake of the company realizing that people just don’t want home phones anymore. Or, at least, that seems to be the general consensus. For whatever reason, the shift has been made towards cell phones (thankfully for us, right?), but that doesn’t mean there can’t be an answer for your home-based office, or a land-line needs.
Verizon is working directly with Waxess USA to bring households the latest in cordless cellular solutions. The HomeCel cordless device is now Verizon Wireless network ready, which means that it couples land-line usage with the very helpful wireless network. The gist of the plan is to allow for customers with already existing wireless phone bills to add the HomeCel cordless device to their plan, and basically start saving money. By coupling their land-line and cell phone bills, then there isn’t more money going out to your telephone provider, as well as your wireless network provider.
The HomeCel 1000 is the unit that will be initially launched for the service. So, if you’re someone out there that’s been aching for a phone that combines the land-line functionality of old, along with the future of cell phones, here’s your answer. There doesn’t seem to be any word on when the HomeCel 1000 will be made available, or when customers can add the service to their bills, but Verizon Wireless is showing the unit off at CTIA, so if you’re at the show, take a look.
