Problem:
At work we have an old conference phone, but we have no landline anymore.
I have heard of a cheap solution, where you merely buy an adapter

This solution

- connects to the landline conference phone via regular phone cable (RJ-something, smaller than network plug)
- connects to cellphones via bluetooth
- rings when calls comes in, you can also call out from old phone

Stuff like this does it: http://www.myxlink.com/demo.aspx

Problem: that is a US-based product which I have no idea will work with our setup or not.

I can't seem to find such as product on Danish sites (edbpriser, pricerunner etc) and most phoneshop sites (e.g. TDC) does not sell such a thing.

Anyone with experience in this area?

UPDATE: What I need instead is a new conference phone which has built in phone (sim card). Only one I can find is Konftel 300M. Costs a fortune. Anyone else?

You can get simple adapters that will let you plug an analogue phone into a VOIP network (should you have one), but to be honest it sounds like it would actually be cheaper to put an analogue socket into the room where this phone is.
