    Looking for Call Phone external Dailer

    Hey Gang...

    I know I haven't posted in quite a while...

    But I need to know if any of you out there have seen a source for External Dial Pads for cell phones.

    I am going to be in a position to use a Cell Phone at the main phone for business calling from a desk and am hoping to find some kind of external dailing pad for this cell phone so that my fingers and thumbs will not be subjected to tiny-key syndrome.

    (something like the external number-key pads available for laptop users...)

    I havn't seen anything like that. You can get a house phone that allows you to plug your cell phone in. You then can use any phone to make calls through the cell phone.
    Thanks again,

      I only know of two options; the first, if the phone is bluetooth enabled, there is bluetooth pc dialing software (if you have a pc at the desk). The next is an OLD option, Radio Shack used to (haven't checked in a long time) a pocket phone dialer, that was a full size keyboard, with a speaker that you held to the phone.

        While I haven't seen any "remote dialpads", I have seen a few docking stations thingies that allow you to use regular phones to talk through your cell phone.

        So the basic idea here is, you come home, drop your cell phone in your dock, and then all the phones in the house use the cell phone for sending and receiving calls.

        Here's a couple product links:

        On another topic:
        The dial tone playing speaker thing from Radio Shack won't work on a cell phone. The tones you hear when you dial a cell phone are purely there for your listening enjoyment and are not used for DTMF signalling.

          Use your cell phone's voice-activated dialing feature?
          I guess mainly useful for dialing the same set of numbers over and over again.
