How close does your phone need to be from this speaker, in order to work?

its best to keep a line of sight and within 30 feet, but it still works pretty good when I move from room to room even the second floor.

my phone was on the bathroom counter while I was in the shower. That's the furthest I have had it so far.

Either use speaker phone of hold it up to your ear (chargeing port down). You will need toget good alignment of the ear speaker with your ear as it is very directional.

Anywhere from 4 - 6 miles. If you want to talk further I would look into adding an amplifier. Hope this helps.

Yes but what you are going to pair it with can not be to far from the speaker because it will start losing signal

No I wouldn't. This speaker is not powered and your phone doesn't have enough power for a speaker this large.

I wish I could answer that, I barely get mine to work. I can't pick up voices over 5 to 8 feet away.

Have not encountered any static it may be the bluetooth out of range from the phone.

I bought this as a gift so have no experience with this. I do know it's a matter of synching the speaker to the phone.

the audio will come through for phone calls, however there is no microphone so I would assume you would need the phone close by too talk.

It works well. You can encounter issues when you have your cell phone connected via Bluetooth if your phone is more than about 30 feet from the base unit. For us that is pretty good because we have a floor and multiple walls in between. Without obstruction you could easily get more than 50-60 feet. If your cell phone is close to the base, then it sounds just like a normal phone call over a speaker phone. Generally it is the quality of the cell phone that is more the issue. We live were we are lucky to get more than one bar. Generally the speaker mode of the handset is better than the cell phone in non speaker phone mode much less speakerphone mode. So you shouldn't find issue with speaker phone. I have conducted several conference calls using speakerphone mode over both landline and cellphones using speakerphone mode of the handset.

I'm afraid I don't know as I haven't had to extend range of speaker beyond just a few feet from my source.

Nope, the speaker is not in the same place. go to Motorola page they have several options.

After the bluetooth is paired with your phone you call answer the call by the button on the side ao disconnect the same way. The phone does have to be close to use because the range depending on any structures is around 30 feet

Have mine hooked up about 15 feet away from my phones with no problem. Haven't experimented with any further distance.

Your phone will work but the volume is loo low to be useful. I bought the car kit speaker but placed in garbage after 1 week.

Using an old Blackberry Bold 9000 as a music player, my SHARKK on Bluetooth works at a distance of 30-35ft. without distortion. After that it starts to drop the signal noticeably.

Does not work well with a cell phone. When you have your phone connected to the speaker and try to answer a call, no one can hear you. Have to turn off the speaker first, readjust your mic settings and then call the person back. Also, it's loud if you're in the same room, but overall it really is not very loud. Can probably hear from 8 feet away max.
