This is quite interesting in my opinion, but at the same time, almost worthless. I mean, all I carry with me is my cell phone, and when I'm home, I rarely ever pick up the phone cause I always tell people call or text me on my mobile. But what good would it do to be able to text from a house phone? You might as well use some online texting service. Plus, its way to expensive for a piece of junk like that.
