Does this headset announce incoming caller id or phone number? How do you make outgoing calls - tap?

Yes it announces the incoming phone number. To use voice dialing you have to build a phone book in the Jawbone application on a pc and download the phone book to the headset. I have a few numbers built in. You press the button and say call (NAME) and it does.

Mike, I am notified of incoming call (either name or number depending on entry in my contacts list. That said, I am not sure if that is a function of the phone (iPhone) or the Jawbone. It certainly accommodates that functionality if available on your phone. Just by way of another example, I have voice dialing - somehow the Jawbone interacts with Siri (iPhone) and I tell Siri who I want to call. Hope this helps. Scott

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

I have the same issue with #2. As for the first one, I don't think the ringtone is suppose to come through the headset. I think it has its unique ringtone to alert you of a text message or call. My biggest issue is with #2 because I have to pull over to resume my music.

you got to bluetooth of this phone and tell it whether or not you are on headset 1 or headset 2 and then it downloads your contact and sync to your cellphone..... And you can either make and receive calls from your cellphone.. And if you have it connected to a land line it will still work to call and receive calls that way too....

I have only seen the number of new messages displayed on the base set, however I have not actually looked to see if the number was displayed on the other head sets. All of the headsets flash when there are messages.

There is nothing on the headset that will end the call. The only switch it has is a mute or call hold switch.Hope this helps.

Yes, there is a red light that flashes when you have caller IDs to check. When you press the Caller ID button, the phone displays and announces the phone number. However, if someone calls who is programmed into the phones memory, the phone displays the number and the voice announces the name that is programmed into the phone.

with my phone I can hear the name through the phone, but not through the headset. It rings in the headset, but the message as to who is calling comes through the phone.

Your phone will ring with either incoming land or Skype calls. You can choose how to make outgoing calls in the setup. Be advised that, in my case at least, I lost call display on my incoming land line calls using this device. Support claimed it should work in my area (Canada using Bell as a provider). It didn't. They even replaced the unit but no luck.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

Yes, it does have the voice announced caller ID. It is limited to the base station as well

You aren't able to directly answer the calls regardless of if your hands are clean/dirty/wet/dry. On the wire that connects the headset to the handset, the only controls you have are to control the volume and to mute/unmute the call. There are no controls for answering or hanging up calls. This would all have to be done from the handset.

Yes be sure the volume is up. You should hear the caller ID announced as well.

If you have call waiting, and you are on a call and another call comes in, it will beep. Since it only works when the phone is off hook (handset is off the phone cradle) it cannot ring when there is an incoming call. The phone will ring, and then you need to remove the handset from the phone for the headset to connect. I think that with the handset lifter you can answer and pick up the call from the headset, but I do not have the lifter so I cannot answer fully. The Plantronics website has more details on how this works

I don't think verbal caller id is a function of the earpiece but rather a function of your phone. If you phone offers it, you would hear it through the earpiece.

It lists the incoming calls/missed calls. It doesn't list outgoing calls as far as I can tell.

To answer or end a call, just tap the button briefly. To shut the headset off you have to hold the button down. Perhaps the button is sticking?
