Bluetooth headsets that supports two PHONE connections at same time?

[sh500]

Hi all,

I've got the a MDA Vario II as a personal phone and also a BT enabled work phone.

Does anyone know of a bluetooth headset that would allow me to simultaneously connect to both phones? I.e, either one rings and I can answer from the BT headset.

I've tried out the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 which says it has the multipoint function but I believe only allows one phone connection and the rest have to be audio.

Anyone using the Jabra BT8010 (or any other headset) able to test it on two phones for me??

Thanks.

No, you have to hang up one before you can answer the other call. I tried Jabra, Plantronics, Nokia and Motorola, and they are all the same.

Sorry, I probably didn't state the question properly...

I don't wish to answer the calls simultaneously, just to be able answer either one that rings (separately of course) using one headset.

I have both my phones on me during working hours and want one BT headset where I can answer either of them.

I hope this makes more sense (!)

the 8010 can do what your asking; same situation as you 1 work phone 1 personal. Paired both phones had someone call on both phones head-set rang for both phones. Small problem though one of the two phones will be tn he primary phone ie. both phones ring at the same time the primary take the call. I just got this head-set and I haven't RTM yet so there other things yet to discover. Oh something I haven't figured out yet(probably because I haven't read the manual) if your talking on one phone and the other rings can you switch between the 2 phones? But YES you can use 2 phones with this head set.

Thanks for confirming that Harry Tuttle!

I already took the chance and ordered one earlier!

Will post back to see how I get on.

no problem, I'm a Jabra fan I've had it for a week and its pretty comfortable for all day use haven't had time to try out the stereo half of it,but so far I'm happy with it.

Normally primary is last phone that initiated connection - so if you press redial, you will go out on primary. If both calling, answer will accept primary. So make sure you pair secondary first, primary second.

In this case, the Plantronics models I mentioned will work the way you want. And, I personally have used 510 and 640, they both work great. One additional information, if you initiate a call from BT headset, such as using voice command, the headset will default to the last device (phone) you used.

Well I totally forgot about the postal strike here in the UK 12/13th- so will probably have to wait until Monday for device to arrive!

@ shasta

Thanks for the info- I believe I saw the same thing quoted in the manual I downloaded.

@ CameoTabby

Yes, i think there are only a few headsets that have this capability- and I did have a look at the Platronics ranges- but none that I saw had an LCD screen.
