Using iPhone in place of land line

I would like to get rid of my land line, but living in a trilevel house I don't want to have to carry my iPhone from room to room all the time. Is it possible have handsets in several rooms all connected to the iPhone? If they had very limited range they couldn't be used outside the home.

You may want to look into something like Dock N Talk or Xlink. You can tie them into your existing phone wiring and continue to use your regular corded or cordless phones throughout the house. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=dock+n+talk

Using iPhone with Places: quickest method?

Hi. I just got an iPhone which records GPS data. What is the quickest (easiest) method to use this data-procurement device to add location information to a shoot?
I am mostly interested is the general location (within 50m), and I rarely move far during a shoot. (I don't need to create a path with waypoints.) Altitude would be a useful addition. What I have been doing is assigning Locations manually from within Aperture, almost always by Project (I do this when I fill in the Project Description).
(OT: this iPhone is something I've been waiting for for at least 5 years. The feature set is superb -- and, more importantly, superbly implemented. Siri is phenomenal: "Wake me at 8"; "Set the timer for 1 hour"; "Call my wife"; and so on, including dictating text and e-mail messages. There are, I'm sure everyone knows, many useful apps. "PhotoBuddy" seems to be an excellent value -- many useful features, low cost.)
Thanks in advance!

Don't have an iPhone so I can only tke an educated crack at this.
First as yu are not all that concerned with getting exact locations for your shots doing through the project like you currently re might just be the easiest and best way for you.
How ever the setting under the GPS pulldown in the Places view
Import GPS from iPhone Photos seems like it be an interesting experiment. When you select this you get a window that says
So my thought is you take one iPhone picture at the location and then use this setting to pull in its GPS info than select all the images that correspond to this place and drop them on the waypoint or pin or whatever comes up after you've done this.
If you try this let me know what it does. Hopefully one day soon I'll join the super phone club. (The **** phone I've got refuses to die, no matter what I do. The stupid thing has been through the wash and it still keeps coming back! )
regards

Three places:
1. Setings > General > Cellular is in the second block of access buttons.
2. Settings > General > About > Network tells what network you are on, and Carrier tells who your cellular service carrier is.
3. Settings > WiFi ON for wireless network access, then Choose a Network to select and attach to a wireless network.

IPhone 3G ** key does not allow me to access my land line voice mailbox...

OK, I have a great iPhone 3G issue for you. Here it is...
In order for me to retrieve my voice mail messages on my office land line, I have to call my office direct dial phone number. After that outgoing message begins to play, I have to press ** on my iphone keypad to prompt the voice mail phone system to let me know dial my extension number and password. On my old iphone 2G, it works fine. But with the new iphone, it does not. Another words, when I press **, it does not allow me to the part where I dial my extension number and password. It instead instructs me to dial my extension number and leave a message (not enter my password). Possibly the ** tones from the new phone are too short? Not sure? There are two other people at my company that are having the exact same issue on their 3G phones as well. I even went to the AT&T store and tested it on the display iphones there. Same problem...

I was on the phone for an hour today with tech support. I spoke first to a tech support agent and next to an iPhone product specialist. Neither had heard of this issue, but I referred them to this thread and they now know it is an issue.
The product specialist tried to solve the problem and could not. He told me he was emailing the engineers to determine a workaround. He told me he would call me by Tuesday at the latest. His name is Richard and I will continue to update our progress in fixing this issue as I receive information.
If we can't access our land line corporate voicemail I don't see how I can keep the iPhone even though it otherwise works well and has many positive benefits over the Windows-based smartphone I was using (and may have to go back to).

My IPhone does not ring into my voicemail from my land line which I have set up to forward to my IPhone. How do I fix this?

HI,
I bought my IPhone 4 in March of 2011. I use it for work purposes and I have my landlind from my desk forwarded to my IPhone. I am current on all of my updates but for some reason around AUgust 8th or the wek of I have not been able to get voice messages from my forwarded calls. The land line will forward to my cell and my cell will ring but it does not roll into my voice mail. I have been on the phone with Verizon who sent me to Apple who sent me back to Verizon. Is there anyone else out there that has had the same problem?

Hey mslisa12
Check to make sure that you do not have the Personal Hotspot turned on, go to Settings > Cellular and turn it off or change the password.

STRANGER GETS MY LAND LINE NUMBER FROM MY IPHONE CALL

Using my iPhone, I called a stranger in error. He answered, whereby I realized my mistake. Instead of being courteous, as I should have been, and saying, "Sorry, wrong number," I simply hung up. This apparently upset him, because he subsequently called my land line and left a threatening message, telling me never to call again. So, hmmm, how did he get my land line number? I'm guessing because it showed up, on his end, when I initially called him with my iPhone. It was associated with or attached to my iPhone number. I know that when a certain relative calls me, more than one of her numbers shows up on my call-back notification.
What do I do to prevent this? I must be able to control and limit the information about me that people I call can get.

There's absolutely no way your land line # was transmitted as CID when calling from your iPhone. If this person found out your land line #, he looked it up based on the name and/or cell # of your iPhone.
The only way he could have your land line show when you called his cell phone is if he already has your full contact info in his phone, including your land line - i.e. you are already known to him.
To avoid this in the future:
1. Disable caller id: Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID > OFF
2. If you don't want to do that, have your carrier transmit only your cell # without your name. Your name can still be researched, but usually require payment
3. Get an unlisted land line phone.
4. Research all the things that can be done with a baseball bat.

While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they recieved text message from my iphone that I did not send. How is that possible?

I repeat. While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send. I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered. Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent. I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone. They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number. Is such a think possible?

In addition to my iphone I have an itouch. I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID

Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same phone number? Thanks.

Hi, Can I replace my land line with an iPhone and keep the same AT&T phone number? Thanks.

Hi
There are always some wrinkles in this kind of change. If you have a home security system like ADT they require a land-line for their system to work. This less of an issue in apartments and condos - it's mostly a "house" issue.
Before you make the switch (and there may be a switching fee) just make sure you cover all the bases.
Cheers

i have iphone 4 how do open line this?my place is philippines

If you are asking how do you get your iPhone to work with
a local wireless carrier in the Phillipines, you will have to contact
the wireless carrier the iPhone is currently locked to and ask if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
If that is not what you are asking, please give more details so
someone can offer a solution.

TS2755 When I click on a IPhone number in contacts to send a message. It keeps trying to send the message to the land line. I deleted the whole contact and re-entered it. But, still wants to send to the land line instead of the IPhone.

When I try to send messages to another IPhone.
I go to contacts.
Touch IPhone number.
Type message.
Hit send.
Comes back to me.
"Can not send messages to land line"
Well I did not touch the land line number - I touched the IPhone number.
I have deleted the whole contact, and re-entered it.
I have turned the IPhone off and on.
Still I get this message on only two of my contacts.
HELP

I can't delete my question, so I'll just say that you press on the type of number written in the box to the left of the box you typye the number into. Dumb or what?
