There is a speakerphone function on the Linksys iPhone CIT300 - USB VoIP wireless phone - DECT\GAP which lets other people join in, in conversation.

Five years ago, after enduring lousy call quality for too many years, I fired the phone company. The next day, I signed up for Vonage, a phone service that uses the Internet. A device the size of a short stack of CDs attaches to an Internet router, then to a phone. For a year or two, the call quality was passable - not great, mind you, but the folks on the other end of the line could hear me. Then it happened. Folks at the other end said I was breaking up, and when I wasn't breaking up, it sounded like I was inside a barrel. Calls dropped in the middle of conversations.
I replaced my phones with the latest Dect 6 Pluses, had my Internet provider (Time Warner Cable) run some tests on my cable line, and even had them boost my service to turbo mode, which cost another 10 bucks a month. I spent the better part of my youth trying to get help from Vonage tech support. At one point, a techie asked me if I could call back from another phone. I was paying $35 a month for garbled phone service.
With its bold red and silver colour theme, the FRITZ!Box 7270 represents a departure from the more toned down colours which router manufacturers seem to prefer … NetComm, NETGEAR, Billion: We’re thinking of you here. Your router designs are typically fairly boring.
And yet, as soon as you pick up the FRITZ!Box you get a feeling that its flashy red exterior doesn’t mean its designers compromised on build quality. These things can be ephemeral and may not always indicate long-term system stability, but the FRITZ!Box feels like more than a cheap Chinese knock-off when you pick the device up. You can feel its sturdy German heritage coming through.
(And yes, these days, cheap and Chinese does not always mean crummy — but too often it still can)
This impression is reinforced by the FRITZ!Box’s three Wi-Fi antennas, reassuring in a world of routers which usually only have one, as well as the little bubble legs on which it sits stably on a flat surface.

FRITZ!Box 7270: Review
ADSL broadband, ISDN, Wi-Fi, DECT handset support, USB ports, PABX features … the FRITZ!Boxes have it all, and packaged in modest yet functional exteriors — appropriate to the German roots of their manufacturer, AVM. But is the FRITZ!
