This link provided some interesting reading for folks wishing
to know where to contact their fellow employees are ie estate agents,
sales reps, technincal support team.

Let say as soon as you arrive at your work, you put your bluetooth
device (headset or cellphone) close to the bluetooth Class I dongle
ie Reception desk, Sales office (where Asterisk Server is).
This will indicate to the Asterisk server that you are present in the building
and to divert your calls to your local extension, if you leave the building
with your bluetooth device - the Asterisk VoIP PBX server will divert your
calls from your local Asterisk extension to your cellphone.
 
BT Class II only ranges 10m, and Class I 100m. in that kind of range, one DECT phone with ATA is more effective in terms of cost and setup.
setup Followme to your cellphone costs nothing if you have at least 2 Zap channels or using SIP outbound to Landline/cell SPs like VoipBuster, of cause you have to pay that part of call cost.
