Office and home communications have evolved quite a lot over the past couple of years, but most landlines and even cellular networks are seriously threatened nowadays by Internet-based communications, which prove to be equally reliable as their “older” counterparts, at the same time being a lot cheaper.

However, in order to make cellular and landline communications more attractive and provide a solution to integrate them both, for more versatility, Vtech has just introduced the LS6245, touted as being the first system of its kind capable of connecting landline and cellular phone calls simultaneously that can also be paired with up to eight Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Based on DECT 6.0 technology for secure and interference-free calls, the VTech LS6245 cordless phone and digital answering system combines advanced Bluetooth features with good call clarity and sound quality. Working as a virtual two-line phone system, the LS6245 allows users to be on a landline call on one handset or base unit speakerphone, using another handset for a cellular call at the same time. Users can connect two cellular phones to the LS6245 simultaneously, and the first to come in will be routed to the cordless phone.

The LS6245 base unit can be paired with up to eight separate Bluetooth devices, giving users multiple options for making and answering calls from Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices. For hands-free landline conversations, LS6245 users can make and receive traditional landline calls on the LS6245 using a Bluetooth headset or the handset and base station speakerphones. Plus, VTech's LS6245 phone system is expandable with up to 12 handsets (using the LS6204 accessory handset, sold separately), requiring only a single phone jack at the base station.

Besides providing such a high level of functionality, the device from Vtech is quite attractive. Hence, the LS6245 is button-free, featuring touch-sensitive technology on the handset and base unit keypads. The high-gloss, metallic black handset offers a reverse color LCD display and a luminous, white backlit keypad for easy viewing.

The VTech LS6245 is available now in stores for around $79.95, but users will also have to cough up an additional 40 US dollars for each LS6204 accessory handset that they want to purchase.
