is it possible to use speakerwire to extend my cell phone headset50ft?

[Joe]

I have no cell service in my basement but I'd like to be able to take
a call without running up the stairs. Could I splice a 50ft extension
cord into my headset? I figure there are two wires inside for for
talking and the other for listening so it should work, no?

I don't know if its possible, but if you live in a decent area, you might also try a
passive repeater.

If your handy and you live in a good signal area, which I doubt, attach two cell phone
antennas with a 50 foot piece of coax. i don't know if it would work.


There is also fancy stuff available. some commercially oriented or this consumer
item............

And, how were you planning on answering the call?
And, does your cell phone ring through the speaker , or through a
seperate sounder/speaker?

the headset has a button for answering calls, not sure if that's
another wire. I would be able to hear the cellphone - right now my
phone is upstairs in my kitchen so I run up from my basement to answer
it. I was hoping to have it sit pressed against my basement window
(which is the only place I get a signal) and use the headset to at
least be able to take calls. I think I might be better off going with
a bluetooth headset but I was just trying to save some money and do
something creative.
