And we now have cellphones
Until recently DECT phones plug into basic phone lines.
Since the introduction of VoIP, the DECT base may connect to an analogue adapter, or the adapter may be built-in to the ISP router, or the base may connect to your router via ethernet.
The more we talk about this, the more it seems that DECT
merely refers to having a wired base station with wireless
extensions. That's common in the US. So maybe texting
to landlines is really a separate issue. In general it seems
silly, anyway. Most people now use cellphones, and landline
displays are very poorly suited to texting. There would be no
reason to add the functionality.
