How's the hands-free calling with iOS 7? Does it have a built-in mic or do you have to attach an extra microphone device?

I use a galaxy note 2 and the hands free is great. I can hear ppl clearly and everyone heard me clearly. No complaints at all. It comes with a mic which I had to route it up near the window visor. I see some ppl route their mics up around the steering wheel too.

It has a built-in Mic, but placement is key. I have it on my dash but have to speak fairly loud. The calls ring through the speakers and the on-screen display allows you to answer or ignore. I however have an android and not iOS, but there are specific options for Apple-based products. Hope this helps!

It comes with a wired external mic. Mic placement is key. I've found the best place is on the instrument cluster as it's away from road noise and the recessed cluster catches your voice. You'll have to adjust mic gain for the best sound quality.

I don't know about ios but I haven't had any issues with at least 2 different android phones. It's been awhile since I bought mine but I'm sure the Mic came with the radio. It's not built in but it just plugs in and you can place it wherever you want. I sure the Mic was included but I had to buy the backup camera separate. Make sure you check that out to be 100% sure

Yes, there is a microphone that can be used for calls (I've used it with my iPhone).

i'm confused. can someone tell me how this device works with a phone. does it actually get attached to the phone? And how can i also listen to the conversation live.

The short answer is Yes, this item is compatible with iOS7. The longer answer - in a previous review, I said this device actually made my iPhone battery drain faster than not using it. This fact has not changed with the iPhone and iOS7. I used mine the other day and it drained my battery significantly faster when attached and not having the external battery on. Not sure why it does this but I continue to be disappointed in it. Mine is destined for the trash and will be getting a Mophie.

Yeah, like the previous respondents, there is an RJ9 jack on your phone somewhere - it's right next to the handset jack on my Yealink phone. I have a "Headset" button on my phone and press either that button again or a softkey under "Cancel" on my screen to end the call. The microphone boom is adjustable by bending it to suit your head and face and liking, and there's a volume control on the clothing clip. I'm happy with this unit.

I don't have an iphone rather a windows phone and the mic works great. No problems.

I have set up VoIP phone access with it with NO problem! (it's now a phablet?!). Home # via GV > OBi100/Vestalink, then N7 via the Cloud Softphone app, (linked with Vestalink), and as a backup/alternate, I also have GV available on it, (via G+/Hangouts app). I am really happy about that and BTW, they both work *really* great on the N7!-A

I confess I'm not into the new tech stuff (i phones. ) I can tell you that the headset comes with a standard plug (standard meaning headphone, microphone type) and attached is a mini-plug that is removable. Mini plugs are pretty standard on devices these days. Check to see if it has a mini plug receptacle. Should be listed on the box or in the tech part of the manual. Hope this helps.

I saw the divit, too, but don't have a microphone receptacle that I found (as is indicated in the owners manual for the Lumia 521). The only "microphone" I see is the picture of the one that you tap on the screen to do voice text responses. Sorry I can't help. I would like to know if anyone else finds out anything about that.

I have update to iOS 7. A number of free software is available from the App Store. Mainly business related. Trial versions include Parallels Access which enables you to remote into your Mac and/or Windows computer(s) so that you can do work away from the office (similar to GoTp My PC), or a Virtual desktop Cloud based Windows desktop software which includes the latest Office Suite. There is also Google utility Talkatone which is basically a VOIP phone. Alternatively you can use Skype and there is a built in FaceTime (similar to Skype but only apple products).

No. Unless your phone allows you to configure Bluetooth for audio, and your phone for the microphone. This has no built-in mic, so you can hear other people or voice mails over the bluetooth, but no one can hear you. I have an iPhone and as far as I know you cannot tell it to use Bluetooth for the uadio and the iPhones mic. It let's you do it when using Siri (you get a little icon to pic the mic source) but I don't see a way to do it in phone mode.

No, and yes. It does not have hands free calling, however in app mode you may be able to access your phone's hands free capability, but to do so you would need to access several menus on the unit which defeats the purpose. Not the unit stores your contact list to make looking up p people to call a little easier. It does come with a wired microphone.

No no, I meant from an external mic headset such as you'd see people using with a cellphone. The iTouch 2G DOES have a built in Mic. I use it all the time, but it requires a WIRED headset. It would be nice to go Bluetooth with it.

I use it with a 3rd gen iPod Touch with iOS5 and works fine. The mic was designed for older iOS devices where as the redesigned Mikey will not work on older iPhones and Touches. Could be a change in pin configuration. I would spring for the newer Mikey.

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.

I have the six foot long one. It works perfect for my 4S on iOS 6. I can't speak as to how it will work on iOS 7.

I'll be honest, I ordered the phone for my son and he loves it. As far as I know he has not used the new IOS 7 yet.
