I have a somewhat unusual set of requirements for a cellular phone unit and so far have been unable to find one that fits. Perhaps someone in the telecom land can help. This cellular phone needs to be transportable, but it will be moved at most once or twice a month, so size in not an issue. Most of the time this phone will be located inside of a house and will be used just as if it is a standard wired telephone. One of the primary requirements is ability to plug it into an AC outlet. The idea is to plug it in and forget about it till it needs to be moved. The feature set is not important. The only highly desirable feature is on-hook dialing. 20+ number memory would be a nice bonus as well. An important consideration is the price. I would like to buy this unit with Ameritech subscription and am willing to go to one of the applience discount shops (Fretter, Highland, etc) that get kick backs from Ameritech. Availability under $100 is best. Any suggestions are welcome. Does a unit like that even exist? Alex Beylin, Systems Specialist | +1 313 759-7114 alexb@cfctech.cfc.com | Chrysler Corp.

You can let them sit in the charging holster (which is plugged in) all the time, and take it out when you want to carry it somewhere. PAT]
