If I read correctly, this speaker works when a call comes in and you can listen to the caller using this speaker instead of the speaker on the phone?

Yes this is true, but you may want to be in a place with little noise, the sound for a call and the sound for music are a bit different and if you want to hear the caller (more importantly) if you want them to hear you be in a quiet place when making the call.

Yes, it does. When you start a call you have to press the Hi-fi key and it will switch to Hi-held (speaker).

No. Its used to take calls when u have yournearphones on or mute a song that's playing in case u r listening to music.

It takes phone calls but it's not clear for the caller to hear me talk. It's made more for listening and convenient to answer calls. I just switch to my phone for conversations.

Yes. It works great. Interrupts the music for the call & restarts the music when call done.

I believe that the active speaker on is programmed into the system in order for you to listen and decide if you want to speak to the caller or let the message record.

When my iphone 5 is paired with this and a call comes in, my phone gives me options about how I want to answer it. (Bluetooth speakers or iphone). I have never tried doing anything on the speakers themselves for a phone call. There may be some kind of setting/option on your phone, regardless of what brand, that you can set to default phone calls to the phone instead of the paired bluetooth device? I hope that's helpful!

Yes. The home base speakerphone can function while the handset in charging.

First, this device will only work when you receive a call. It will not work when you place calls -- it is a design flaw of the device.If you are listening to the line in, and a phone call comes in, it will switch over to the phone.

The speaker volume matches my phone's ringer volume. If I have the speaker on in my home office and my phone is on the other side of the house I will hear one or the other where ever I am. If my phone is in the same room as the speaker I hear the ringer in stereo, but not any louder than either device on its own. I have an iPhone 4S.

I have not had this happen, but I will try to find out tonight and let you know.**UPDATE**Sorry this is coming a bit later, but yes, the ringer will go through the speaker.

Yes. It will pause whatever you are playing, unless its a live station (that can't be paused), to switch to the incoming call; when you hang up it returns to whatever was playing before. As long as your phone paired correctly to your the device, it should work fine no matter what you are playing when you receive a call.

I believe you can choose which line on either phone. And it does have a speaker.

You can make and answer calls in speaker mode. It is pretty low volume to hear so may have trouble if in a place with lots of noise. I usually just play music which is great sound quality so not sure this case is for you.

I believe you are able to hear the caller as soon as it begins. To tell the truth I don't pay that much attention to the callers.

If your phone is equipped with Bluetooth, then you can utilize this speaker with your phone.

ANYTHING that is normally coming out the phone speaker will INSTEAD come out the Boom Box Speaker. When you lift the phone off the Boom Box the phone speaker automatically comes back on. GREAT device for when listen to music or whatever. I have an app for Internet radio and when I shave I listen to the radio through the smartphone.
