David,

It works well ... however you have to be careful that one or the other

Hmm, I can see where that could be a real problem for me.  My cell signal is
very marginal in my home and office.  So even when turned on, it can fairly
easily end up going to voice mail.  But I suppose I'd get at least 1-2 rings
on the office phone first before the cell provider decided I wasn't in
coverage range, and if I picked up on the office phone first maybe it would
work anyway.  Does your VoIP phone tend to ring ahead of your cell phone?

And does the opposite problem exist?  If your VoIP phone is not connected
for whatever reason, does it go straight to its voice mail without giving a
chance to answer on the cell?  Seems like that would be a problem if there
was an ISP outage.  Or if you disconnected the VoIP adapter to take with you
traveling to plug into a hotel broadband, etc.
