The following info comes from Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard
of Hearing:

Bluetooth for home phones
There are a couple of options here.
1. VTech makes a Bluetooth cordless phone system. Item # LS6245. This
can be paired to the Bluetooth adapter. If you have the Bluetooth
adapter paired and connected to your cellphone, you will need to
forward your cellphone to the VTech phone and then disconnect the
cellphone from the Bluetooth adapter (the disconnect option is in your
Bluetooth menu on your cellphone). The reason you need to do this is
that the phone (cellphone or regular) takes priority in the Bluetooth
adapters. The two phones will be competing for access to your Bluetooth
adapter. So if you are talking on the cordless phone at home and a
cellphone call comes in – if the cellphone is not disconnected from
your Bluetooth accessory, then the cellphone may kick you off your
cordless phone call. It’s best to have just one phone connected to your
Bluetooth accessory at a time. The benefit of having the cordless
Bluetooth phone is that you can be about 10 metres (30 feet) away from
the phone in your house and still be able to get a phone call
wirelessly with your Bluetooth adapter.
2. For non-Bluetooth home phones (which is most phones) some of the
manufacturer's make an adapter to attach to your phone and convert it
to Bluetooth. After some in-house experimenting here, it appears that
some of the manufacturer’s Bluetooth phone adapters are compatible with
other manufacturer’s products (for instance the Oticon phone hub works
very nicely with the iCom and uDirect. While I can’t say for sure – it
will most likely work with the other Bluetooth adapters as well.
