Cingular Wireless Cradle Reroutes Wireless Calls to Landlines

Cingular Wireless introduced a "FastForward" device that reroutes calls from a mobile phone to a landline phone. The device is designed as a cradle to hold and recharge a wireless phone. Cingular customers with a FastForward device can get unlimited incoming wireless calls (minutes) forwarded to their landline phone in the local calling area -- without the minutes counting against their monthly wireless calling plan. The service costs $2.99 per month, but is free to SBC residential local phone company customers who receive a single bill for Cingular wireless and landline services, and BellSouth customers who sign up for a combined bill and two other features.
