Hi guys

We're thinking of getting a Tesco Internet Phone account for our business, but we've got no intention of using the cheap headset that comes with it because we're toying with the idea of using our work mobile.

What I want to know is, is it possible using the Audio Gateway setting that most phones and headsets support to connect the phone to the PC by Bluetooth, but rather than use the PC as a BT Headset, set it the other way around, use the PHONE as a BT headset (using the Audio Gateway profile) for the COMPUTER?


Anyone know if this actually works? Or how good it is? It would be the answer to our prayers if it does work


Cheers in advance guys.

Hm, I suspect this need special software to do it (like PC Suite) or even a small java applet inside the phone as well.

You may find better luck in using bluetooth headset (like HBH-660 or the like). I have not using it but I read some ppl using motorola bluetooth headset with skype.


Edit: Look at the bottom of this thread. Someone say it possible for his Nokia phone:

Thanks

We toyed with the idea of a Bluetooth headset, but that involves turning it off and on each time and with a small battery, where as the company phone will always be on us. I was hoping it'd work something like the BT Fusion service (where by when the phone comes with distance of the home DECT base station is turns into a cordless landline phone with your landline number). Maybe it's worth us just buying one of those phones and praying it works via Bluetooth with other apps?
