How well can you see your phone screen through the Phubby? Can you answer a call, leaving the phone in place, using the phone speaker?

Yes and no. In bright sun, I have difficulty seeing the face of my phone, but in lower light conditions it's possible. The Phubby doesn't appear to interfere with sound quality, but I prefer to slide the phone out while talking because I feel a little silly talking to my wrist.

It would be possible. But, I keep a cover on my phone for protection. The phubby was just to keep it handy. I quit using it because it was too tight and uncomfortable to wear.

Yes, you can see the screen well enough to answer a call (although not to play Angry Birds), and use the speaker phone.

can see the light on, can see that it's a text or a call, but that's about it. it's not very good really!

I was disappointed with this feature and found that I can't use the phone in the pouch because I really can't see the screen properly.

poorly made, I could barely see the face of my phone, let alone answer a call.

Not at all. And once you answer the call you can continue the conversation with the cover closed because it doesn't cover the listen speakers or the microphone.

Yes, you can. 2 things I do not like about the phone, otherwise it is GREAT!. sometimes, I get told my speech is garbled. (I use it with Vonage). The speaker on the phone is fine for listening, but sucks for 2 way conversation.

It does have speaker/hands-free feature, if you can figure out how to implement it, it's not the easiest phone to access the features.

I don't actually use it for this purpose but it is supposed to work that way. You can hear the caller through your radio but when you talk, you are using your phone's mic. to talk. The advantage is a poor man's ability to hear your caller through your radio and not have to hole the phone to your ear. Phone can lay in your lap, seat,console etc as you talk. You still have to make and answer a call the old fashion way.I use mine to listed to Pandora radio and I heart radio only, not as a speaker for phone.

Although you can speak through the mic and hear through the handset while in use, using the speaker function will not be ideal being that the speaker is covered.

When there is an incoming call and you answer, it will switch to the call and you can hear them but you can't speak back because it does not a speaker to accept audio. Hope that makes sense and helps!

I would have a friend or family member help you test this out. Put your phone on speaker with the amplifier speaker near your phone receiver. Talk into the microphone and adjust how close it is to the telephone until your tester can easily understand you without a lot of feedback. You may need to play with volume and angles to get the best sound.

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 an iPhone. So it would be better to ask somebody who has an android.

No, there's no display, apart from red and blue flashing lights. But since it's stuck in your ear, a visual display wouldn't be much use. It's possible that your phone could be configured to announce the caller somehow. But that seems unlikely. Best to just look at the phone.

Hi B., Sony Portable Speakers doesn't have phone capability for answering calls. Its main purpose is for producing sound from connected devices. -Vincent

the only way is if there is a option on your phone to answer the call with your handset. when a call comes in my iphone shows options on the screen if i want to answer using the phone or the bluetooth speaker

Yes, When I am connected to my phone watching youtube or whatever with the bluetooth feature, I can still hear myself speak, and I can also use the microphone and headset in phone calls. If you dont want to hear yourself while watching a video or whatever, You can just mute the microphone and it goes away.

On speaker phone ppl say they can hear themselves talking. But I don't use speaker phone much. And that's the only problem I have ever had! And yea the buttons work great, the case is really tight fit so it's like the phone doesn't even have a screen protector on it! The home button works fine for me.

Yes you can.However, the camera is on the back of the phone so you won't be able to see the party you're talking to, but you can hear them.
