Another product is called a CellSocket. I don't think it accepts as many phones as the one pointed out by other posters, but it's been around for at least 3 years, maybe longer. Depending on the phone, there were some things it would not do, such as access voice-mail or do caller-ID. Motorola and Nokia seem to be the most popular phones to have such devices made for them.
Some of these also provide for an external antenna on the phone which helps boost the signal.
