If I pair this to my Samsug S4mini, will it ring? Louder than my cell so I can hear it?

No, your cell phone is the only thing that rings. I would suggest buying a cordless phone that pairs with your cell phone from Best Buy or other store. They are about $40 for a double handset. You can connect up to three cell phones and a land line if you wish. I have one and it works great, shows missed calls from my cell phone, keeps my contacts once loaded and paired. This phone is in the box in my closet!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, and when the phone rings, my phone plays its ringtone and the speaker plays a generic ring. So I get two different rings.

It shouldn't since it will be "paired" with your phone. Look at like a Bluetooth headset, you don't interfere with others while using it. Same concept.

I don't think so. The ringer volume and the voice volume are both very weak even when turned up all the way.

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 makes a few tones when you turn it on, and different tones when you turn it off. When I connect to my phone via wifi (for music) it makes one "thud" sound that lets me know its connected.

No, not loud enough. On my Galaxy Note 2, it didn't increase the sound enough that you'd get a benefit from using this.

As long as theirs volume coming out of the phone, it connects through Bluetooth. So the Bluetooth acts as your speaker. I'd assume yes. Mine plays my pandora app. No problem. I can even answer phone calls and hear/talk

Yes the headphones volume is independent from the device your paired with sometimes I forget that so when it beeps to indicate that's as loud as the headphones go I realize my phones volume is supper low so I need to turn my phone up. As to the sound quality, obviously there not beats but at about mid volume on both head phones and device I'm able to affectively drown my roommates Skype call out as well as down noises of public transit out.

I was able to get my unit to ring,but only last a day then you have to reset it again, It sounds like you have defective unit. I would return it for your money back or a better unit. My unit starts ringing if I use my cordless phone!

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.

Whatever you can hear through your phone, you can hear through the headset. I have the S4 and through the SVoice app hear text messages. Ring tones are the same on the headset as they are set up on your phone. You can actually operate your phone with voice commands with this headset. It actually allows true handsfree operation

I'm able to talk on my android, listen to pandora on my android, and than know I'm receiving a call by the music stopping and the cell ringing through the ear buds. I don't think you can answer the call via the ear buds. I use my cell to answer. Not sure what an S3 is.

Yes. I usually monitor the loudness with the phone volume. You should be good.

Any phone with blue tooth will pair to this. This is incredibly basic. No talking caller-ID or anything like that...it only rings. I bought one a couple weeks ago for my little prepaid phone and it works great. It's not very loud so I wouldn't recommend it for a loud truck or someone hard of hearing. I use it in my mini-van running kids around town all day and it's perfect for me.

The speaker will ring when receiving calls, it has its own ringer and will not duplicate your ringtone. I have only ever answered the call using my phone and not attempting (or researching) the ability with the buttons on the speaker. The audio quality was good and the other person was able to hear me without issue.

I have the phone too.just turn down the volume or go to settings and adjust the hardness of the buzz
