RE: convert normal homephone to Bluetooth or use PC instead

["Alistair Watkins" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A while back nokia made something that plugged into a standard Nokia
headset jack (I think its pretty similar to a 3.5mm stereo connector)
which then allowed you to connect it to a Bluetooth headset.
It wasn't particularly easy to use (you had to use various button
presses to pair the headset and adaptor) and it was another thing to
charge up, along with the phone and headset, and the audio quality was
very poor.

Maybe you can still get one on eBay but I think they were discontinued a
while back, and probably forgotten about!  Don't see why another company
like Plantronix or something couldn't make a similar product, it aint
particularly complex!

HTH a bit
Ali

Subject: [ukha_d] convert normal homephone to Bluetooth or use PC
instead


Hi,

I am not having much luck in google. This sometimes happens to me when I
am missing keywords on a popular subject.

So I thought I would ask those here, essentailly I have a home phone
with a headset (essential for typing and talking at the same time) I can
freely choose what headset I want to use on the phone as there is a
simple jack at the back of the phone. Now I'm thinking surely someone
has has created a device that converts this to a bluetooth connection ?

Failing that if I have a bluetooth dongle in my PC, can I use a voice
modem to call people.

Links or keyworks are acceptable replies, infact anything at this stage
!
