2nd question on DS6321, read from the manual that a bluetooth headset can be connected to the vtech handset. If connected, how do I do the dialing?

Actually J Ingraham is not exactly correct. If the phone is paired with a cellphone, you can dial a number from the cordless phone and press the "cell" key, and the number gets dialed over the cellular connection. This is very useful if you don't have long distance on your landline, because you can dial from any cordless extension and use your unlimited cell calling minutes for the call. Just be sure not to dial 1 for long distance, in case you accidentally press the "call" key instead of the "cell" key to make the call. Of course this trick only works whil you have a paired cellphone connected. Actually J Ingraham is not exactly correct.

The manual is referring to a Bluetooth capable Cell Phone. It answers only, outbound calls on cell phone dialed as usual on cell phone number. Note: This is an older set now, and it appears to be in a redesigned case to look updated. Certainly there is a newer model with the latest technology out there. We have had this model for years, look for more advanced technology, this model was great in 2010, but not sure it makes the grade in 2015.

I don't use it that way, but apparently it would be just like using a bluetooth headset with your cellphone in your car. You use the phone to dial, but you use the headset to speak and listen. Remember in the ancient days when telephones had a receiver, and you picked it up to talk and listen, but you dialed on the phone at the other end of the wire? It's just like that, but without a wire.

LIP - The Bluetooth headset is paired to the DS6321 Base, not a cordless handset, and can be used for HOME line calls. You dial using a cordless handset. Once connected, press MENU twice to select 'Use Headset'. The call is now transferred to the BT headset. Cheers!

As printed on page 14 of the VTECH owners manual: Select MENU, then "up" or "down" to highlight BLUETOOTH, then press Menu/Select. Press "up" or "down" to highlight ADD CELLULAR, then press MENU/SELECT. The screen displays ADD CELLULAR PLACE CELL PHONE NEXT TO BASE. Then press SELECT. Set your cell phone to search for devices and press SELECT. Turn on the BLUETOOTH feature of your cell and search for or added new devices. Press MENU/SELECT to set the phone base to discover a new cell. Once your cell finds the VTech, press MENU/SELECT. I never had any problems - very simple.

There is an intercom between the handsets and base unit.See also Vtech's website for more info at, http://www.vtechphones.com/products/product_detail/2359

My Bluetooth headset works with my mobile phone linked to base. I would assume you could use a Bluetooth headset linked to base directly as there is provision for that but I do not know if there is more than one Bluetooth channel for headset on the base. I only have one Bluetooth headset.

If you have the base it's very easy to pair the handset - the info in the manual is very clear. Hope this helps!

I'm almost certain this unit will not work. From past experience this unit only works with certain Vtech models only. It is best to buy the complete set that comes with phones and headset that match.

Yes, it connects like any bluetooth device, using the Bluetooth menu on your phone. The instructions will tell you how, but you probably will figure it out just by going to that menu on your phone. There are also online support sites. You pair it to the phone, then it will connect automatically when you turn it on. It's easy! This is a very good bluetooth headset, in my opinion...and the price makes it even better. Best wishes!

Hi, Try this: First make sure that the bluetooth headset is OFF. Then When the bluetooth is off. try pressing the middle button and keep holding it. first the light will turn on flashing. keep ur finger pressed even after that. after like 5-10 more seconds it should become a flashing red & blue light then try to pair it with the cell phone. If your phone asks you for a passcode then enter fours zeros (0000). Let me know how it goes. Thanks... Isaac @ BluetoothPlus

You didn't mention if you had registered the handset. It needs to be registered with the base unit before operating. The manual shows the process. If that doesn't work you may need to call vtech support for assistance.

it connects just like the phone headset, some phones are able to have the headset and this plugged together with a button to shift between but if you don't have this, just put it instead of the headset

No, I don't believe that there is a "headset" connection. I checked the manual and didn't see any such information. I would advise, however, that it is a great phone! I just love it!

You have to use your bluetooth option on whatever device you are using and the bluetooth should "locate" this headset and then you connect -- I think I held down the middle button till it says 'connected" - Hope this helps.

Yes, because this device is not dependent on another phone. It is actually a phone by itself except it cannot dial out. So if you make or receive a call on your Vtech, you can switch this headset on, then disconnect the Vtech. Think of it as an extension phone.

You can uses corded 2.5mm headset with the mobile handset, or you can use Bloetooth headset with the base. Please keep in mind you CANNOT use your cell phone connection while Bluetooth headset is in use (the phone base allows only ONE Bluetooth connection at the time).

I just called the ATT support line and they told me that this model headset is ONLY compatible with ATT phones. I have a Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone and it will NOT pair. I'm very frustrated. This was not clear in the description. Also, this headset doesn't have bluetooth capabilities.

Headset does not require pairing.No matter what kind cordless phone you use.This headset connected straight to landed phone plug no additional phone equipment needed.But if you ask how to make a phone call than yes you need separate phone to make dialing.Unfortunate this set can not dial and do not have visual monitor to see who calling.I would say this headset use as helping phone tool to free your hands while you talking and quickly answer call. PS .Also headset have option to attach corded phone so it became cordless and also have option to connected to computer (wired connection only (USB)) helpful with messaging programs like Skype. Those connections its not automatic owner have to switch this options on unit. Hope it helps.

The bluetooth headset would only connect to something like a phone; the headsets dont' talk directly to each other. And this one doesn't come with a bluetooth headset anyways; that apparently comes separate.
