I'll assume that you know the difference between a cordless phone (handy around the house) and a cellular (expensive telecommunications tariff gathering) device. The cordless is the one that you use about the house. You can even go into the garden while yacking to friends and family.
I am aware of these new cordless/cellular hybrid phones But lets concentrate for now on the cordless concept.
Today you can buy your feature packed home cordless just about anywhere. You take your phone home and plug in the base station. If it interferes with your neighbours cordless you take it back to the shop. The people there will try to configure it so that It completely ignores the neighbours'... What a wasted opportunity. Your cellular Hybrid may have different problems but the ultimate solution will feel much the same as you send the offending item back to be fixed or refunded. But this is digression. Lets talk about wasted opportunities.
We will apply a solution to this problem by introducing a trusted equipment supplier into this equation. To avoid upsetting anyone lets call this entity Mike Burgess Enterprises or ME for short. This supplier provides a new sort of cordless/ cellular hybrid phone. The ME phone.
The cordless 'ME phone' Base and Rover (TM) might initially costs many times more than the warehouse special cordless model but the price is set to fall and this phone does a clever trick.
The magic starts when you plug in the base station at home. It actually seeks communication links with any neighbouring 'ME phones'. You automatically become part of the neighbourhood "ME network". This is really cool. It not only saves you postage and trips into town. Of course it does more .. It does more .. much more ..
