Does this work with phone calls or do i have to disconnect it to answer a phone call?

Neither, actually. This can stay connected during phone calls, because this device on nly supports the Bluetooth music protocol, A2DP. If you get a call it is just handled by the phone. Works fine. I haven't tried this, but I have heard you could have a separate Bluetooth device connected on the phone protocol. If I ever try it I'll post back whether it worked.

"Maybe" if you could find a corded headset that would attach "between" the handset and the phone base. I would imagine that you would have to manually lift the corded phone handset off the cradle to answer or talk on the headset and replace the handset on the phone base to disconnect a call.

I haven't used it to initiate a phone call, but I have answered. Keep in mind that the charge doesn't last long on it and you cannot charge it while driving.

Yes. But just that. If I am doing some other tasks or playing with my kid and I get a call then it won't help. The call breaks when I attend the call while on move. This is not a good buy at all. I have almost dumped it in trash.

The phone rings. The screen in the middle lights up showing the caller id and indicating if the call is from YOUR connected cell phones OR your LAND line (if you have one).You pick up the phone -- you can press the answer button OR the speaker ON button. When finished you can press the end call button or simply hang up -- the phone disconnects when the other party hangs up.I use the answer and hang up buttons about 99% of the time -- it is easy. I don't know if the phone can be set to answer when you pick it up off of the cradle/charger -- but the documentation or on line will tell you.I love the integration of the cell and the land line into one. Very cool. The phone rings.

m going to say yes on this. However I have not had the occasion to use the speaker phone sine I've had mine. In the basic instructions it says "When you are on a call, you can mute your phone by pressing the left soft key (you should see the "Mute" label positioned above the left soft key. To unmute the phone, press the left soft key a second time." By this, I can only assume that it will also work when the speaker phone option is being used because it mutes the microphone that you are talking into regardless of the phone speaker or the hand set that you are listening to.

Yes, there is an on/off button for the answering machine so if you choose "off" it will not answer calls.

I have my IPhone hooked to the speaker via blue tooth and play music while not on a call (Pandora) when a call comes in, it silences the music and rings (just like the phone normally does.) Music resumes when I hang up.

It takes a bit of time to get used to but yes you can use it to talk on the phone. I believe it was one click to answer, click and hold for 3 seconds to decline.

Yes it will announce who is calling and ask whether you want to answer the call or not. It will not interrupt or turn down the radio. You will hear the phone ring through the Motorola Roadster which will give you plenty of time to turn down the radio and then just say "answer" and you will be hands free.

Yes, it will answer a Lync call automatically when you pick it up off the charger. You can answer, hangup, and mute a Lync call all from the headset. I use this everyday for may job, working from a home office and it is the best headset I have had.

I use a quick disconnect because the cord does not reach very far and to plug it into my phone another cord is needed. The end of the headset cannot plug directly into a phone.

You can't place a call on Mute with this headset. If you hit the Play/Pause button, it answers/ends a call. Swapping calls, or putting calls on hold, requires using your phone.

The unit does go into a low power 'sleep' after you've moved far enough away from it. If you're car is within 30 feet of where you are it will likely stay connected. This happened to me just the other day. Once you're back in the car just tap the call button and it will wake up and connect to your phone.

Not only does this headset support voice dialing (assuming that your phone does also) but it will last-number redial too. The instructions in the manual are vague, but if you hold the control on the earpiece for just 2 seconds, it will connect. The headset control requires a firm press to activate its features and if you hold it too long, it may simply turn off. I'd prefer a confirmation beep or two so I know for sure what it's doing.

I forgot to mention one thing. My phone doesn't get disconnected while I'm talking to some one. It just gets disconnected when I turn my phone on. I've never had a dropped call.

It does not. I realized that after I wrote the review. It only can answer calls/hang up or change music depending on the single, double or tripple click you have set up.
