Summary: GE Ego Bluetooth cell phone device 2010-06-29
Customer Rating: 
Summary: OK 2010-06-22
Comment: The product is not great...it's OK. All in all, it beats having the cost of a landline and after becoming accustom to it...it's OK.

Summary: Phone set up to auto dial 2010-06-18
Comment: It took me a while to establish the bluetooth link with my cell but once done, it now auto-connects quickly as soon as my cell is truned on.
I saw feedback about it being a hassle to dial out using #1# every time. I easily overcame this by re-programming the numbers stored on my two house phones. I added #1# immediately before the stored number and # at the end and saved the changes to each number in memory. Now I simply select the stored number on my phone and press talk. It works every time including 1 800 numbers..
Caller ID works fine but as others have said, it does not provide the callers name only the number. Don't know why. I canceled my land phone line today.

Summary: It's OK but the xlink is better 2010-06-11
Comment: This box does what it says it will do - it allows you to use your cell phone but talk and dial from a regular phone. However, that being said, it's one of the most user-unfriendly products I've had in quite some time:
- #1#. You will get to know these numbers very well. You have to dial #1# (or #2# if you're dialing out on the second line), then the phone number you want to dial, then # when you're done dialing. It has no internal mechanism to figure out when you've entered a valid number and to send it to your cell. I view this as a major safety issue because in an emergency, will everyone in your home remember to do this? Or will a visitor even know about this requirement? #1#911# is a whole lot more complicated than 911. Xlink allows you to dial just "911".
The xlink has software that also figures out which cell phone lines are present, and allows you to customize the priority of each line (i.e., you may want to dial out on line 2 before line 1, or dial line 3 if line 2 is currently in use). If you just want to dial, for example, it lets you do that and it figures out the highest priority cell phone that's available.
- The xlink gives you a software package that allows you to customize things like ring patterns, caller ID options, and even voicemail. The CellFusion box doesn't give you any software, so you can forget customization of any kind.
- 800-number phone menus. This box is really touchy in terms of what automated phone menu systems it works with. Many times, it will eat numbers that you punch in instead of passing them on to the automated phone system. This gets annoying because now you have to run to your cell phone and punch them in from that. The xlink offers no advantage over this - I've found it to be touchy with phone menus as well.
Voice quality between the xlink and CellFusion are pretty similar - both are good. But, in my view, the annoyances of the CellFusion make it an inferior product.

Summary: Does pretty much what it says 2010-05-18
Comment: Just posting quickly to say I just got this device to use with my new HTC Incredible and it works pretty well. Pairing was simple and sure enough calls to my cell now ring my home phone (which is a cordless 4-handset model). Additionally I can make outgoing calls over the cell although you do have to dial #1# before the number and # after it to get the call to go through the cell. A bit of a pain but I think I can live with it.
All in all for the $35 or so I paid I think it's a pretty good value. Not perfect but certainly a little better than I expected.

The General Electric Ego device is simple to use, simple to reset if needed (just unplug and it's back to normal when plugged back in).
This device is used to link your cell phones (2) to your home or office phone system. It's easy to setup and it's automatic from there. Each time you return the link is re-established to the system. Should a problem occur, which has been rare, just unplug the power for a bit and then plug back in---all is well again. Calling our cell phone message system has required us to temporarily turn off the link by hitting the line "light" on the unit. Then we make the call. With our setup if we do not turn off the link the system phones ring and we do not connect to our cell message system.
Quick and easy sums up the useage and the sound quality is great. We get caller ID showing up on the system phones and callers can leave messages on the system phone lines answer machine recorder.
The price is very good and the cell lines are always linked up as we drive up to the house.
