An All-in-One Phone
-
Another application of Bluetooth technology is in the world of telecommunications. If you’re
-
like most high-tech consumers, you’re currently juggling several different phones, and several
-
different phone numbers. You probably have a cordless phone at home, and a more complex
-
phone system in the office. You also have a mobile phone to use on the go, and you might
-
even have a fourth phone in your car. Plus, depending on your situation, you could have a
-
fifth telecommunications device in your possession—an alphanumeric pager. All of these
-
phones are separate devices, and all have their own individual phone numbers.
-
How much more confusing can you get?
-
In a Bluetooth world, things will be much simpler. For one thing, you’ll only have one
-
telephone handset, and you’ll carry it with you at all times. When you’re at home, it will
-
connect (via Bluetooth technology) to your normal telephone line. When you’re at work, it
-
will connect to your office phone system. When you’re on the go, it will function as a cellular
-
phone. And when you’re in the car, it will connect (wirelessly, of course) to your car’s built-in
-
hands-free phone system. It will even, if you choose, function as an alphanumeric pager—as
-
well as an e-mail retrieval device and a miniature Web browser. You’ll choose which phone
-
numbers to use, and where; if you want, a single phone number will travel with you, no matter
-
where you go.
-
One phone, one number—how much simpler can you get?
