Bluetooth enabled home phone that works

The only reason why I keep a land line in my home is because I need to be able to answer and hear my phone ringing regardless of where I am in my home and I do not want to wear a bluetooth headset all of the time or carry my iPhone with me all of the time.
I have tried the following product:
http://telephones.att.com/telephonesui/phone_store/dspproduct.cfm?itemID=3930&parent=23655
but it just doesn't work very well. It simply cannot make a reliable connection to my iPhone when I return home. I believe it is because I do use my bluetooth headset in my home on occasion and when I do, the connection is lost to that ATT product.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and has found a good solution.
Thank you.

The problem is the same as many others are having on this site and that apple is ignoring. Iphone5 bluetooth will not answer incoming calls - in a Honda2012 CRV many other makes of cars. Honda says it is not compatable in answering calls and they have contacted Apple - Iphone 4 is compatable but the I5 isn't because Apple changed somehting and it no longer works,
After much work, research on this site and othesr - we are still waiting for a software update that will correct the problem. Isn't happening and we are stuck with two phone s that don't perform when you are traveling. Apple should be better then this

Skype enabled home phone

Hi, I have a skype enabled home phone. I would like to use this phone for a emergency calls and for my husband to call when he can't reach me on my cell phone. Do I need an online number for this? I am not really sure how to use it. It was a gift. We have not had a home phone line to avoid having to pay a monthly bill so please let me know if there is a cost to this.
Thank you for your help!

As far as I know, Skype-compatible hardware devices tend to remain online. The only time they aren't:
1. There is a setting in that device that forces it to another state.
2. You change the state in another Skype client either manually or automatically (when idle) and that updates the online status of your account. This then toggles your online state for the hardware device as well. So if your Skype client is toggled to Away, that may be causing the issue.
I personally leave myself in online at all times. I have nothing set to change any of my states and my hardware device is always online. I generally receive all my calls.

Does anyone have an Android phone that works with the hands free on a 2015 Honda Civic EXL -Nav?

Does anyone have an Android phone that works with the hands free on a 2015 Honda Civic EXL -Nav? I don't care about the HondaLink- just the hands free phone call/receive.

My 5 starting doing this today....constant rebooting and or shutting off even after restoring to new phone. Would love some impu!!

Is there a list of other cell phones that work with iTunes?

I'm thinking of going with Verizon and was just wondering if certain of their phones will work. Thanks.

The only phones that work directly with iTunes, other than the iPhone, are a few of Motorola's phones such as certain models of the RAZR, ROKR, and SLVR. You'll want to check with Motorola or ask Verizon which models are iTunes-equipped.
Other phones may be able to use iTunes tracks even though they may not be able to sync directly from iTunes. Any phone that can mount on a Mac as a normal hard drive and accept tracks dragged to the phone should work, assuming that the tracks are in a supported format (MP3 almost always is supported, AAC a bit less common. Copy-protected tracks from the iTunes Store require an iTunes-equipped phone). There may be phones that are compatible with Mac and have their own software, but I'm can't mention any specific models.
Hope this helps.

All I want is a phone that works!

So, I am now on my 5th palm pre in less than 6 months. Everytime I get it repaired/exchanged, there is a new issue with the new phone. Last time, the phone wouldn't go silent...EVER... and the phone would light up and vibrate at its own will. So, I exchanged it last night just as the sprint store is closing. When i left the store, the doors locked behind me and I attempt a phone call only to find out that I can hear the person on the phone, but they can't hear me. This is how it came out of the box...literally within one minute of it being activated. I am going back to sprint today to try number 6 our and see how that works for me. My question is though, WHEN number 6 doesn't work, can I just tellspring that I don't want the phone anymore because, well, it does not and has not worked? Can I demand that they upgrade me? All I want is a phone that is reliable. Palm has clearly not been a good choice for that. I actually had the Palm Treo before and went through 4 of those. I thought that maybe it was me up until the last two replacements where the phone came out of the box not working...any insight would be greatly appreciated

Looking for a skype phone that works via pc

I currently own the philips voip 321, great phone for the past couple of years, but a bit dated, basically im looking for a phone that has the same feature. I can use my computer to call somebody, and just pick up the phone and talk to them, or if somebody calls me the phone rings and i can enter pick it up using the phone or the pc.
Most of the new skype phones are just internet based without the need for computers, which is great, but i prefer the computer to phone routine, are there phones like this around?

One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

3g fails after applying carrier settings to a phone that worked since day 1

Please can anyone advise me what to do. I am travelling and have been using my iphone extensively on the Spanish 3G network. My iphone is from Belgium and is unlocked (fully legal as Belgium iphones are not locked to any vendor) and when i am in Spain i insert my Spanish SIM and change my internet APN settings and bingo everything works just great. However this morning i accepted an update from apple itunes for carrier settings for the vodafone network in Spain, At that point i was using my iphone in tethered mode for the internet (the hotel room fee's being a rip off).
Now my iphone claims "Could Not Activate Cellular Data Network" and i can not access any settings any more to change the APN!
Jeez i wish i hadn't accepted the update. of course there is NO backup in the backup directory, it seams apple doesn't think we need a backup. How can i get my phone to the normal state where i can access the settings for network like APN, MMS etc?
Thanks to all

A loss of the APN setting should mean the carrier update has installed the correct APN, so the setting is not needed. To undo the carrier setting, you could try deleting any files in:
~Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support
then Restoring the iPhone.

Can I get a phone that works please?

My Droid Bionic is probably the worst phone I have ever had. The battery is terrible, lasting only about 3-4 hours. I purchased the extended battery; thank you for that extra hour after spending nearly $40 for the extended battery. It is also very slow when trying to go from inactive to active, but my favorite (please hear my sarcasm when I say favorite) is when it turns itself off while I am in the middle of a call, a reminder, a text, you name it. WOW!! and I still have more than a year left on my contract. Any suggestions???

You could try a system cache clear; shouldn't erase any of your data. You could purchase a phone off ebay or swappa or somewhere until you're eligible for an upgrade. Verizon also has their Certified Pre-Owned Replacement Program:
Certified Pre-Owned Replacement Program | Verizon Wireless*
System cache clear:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

Verizon phones that work?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had any success using isync with any Verizon phones other than the Palms and Blackberry's? I need my address book and calendar only. I don't currently need an internet connection. Peace, good health and much thanks!

Just went through the same drill. I found I could use the 'Mark/Space - Missing Sync for ________' to sync (not iSync) most any Windows Mobil PDAs or phones. Based on my limited skill I found this sync technique to not be for the faint of heart. I got duplicate and quadruplicate event entries all through iCal. To answer your question directly, I have found no Verizon devices that will play with iSync. The Verizon store manager and I tried to sync several dozen live store phones with my Mac pro. Apple appears be focused on iSync'ing with its business partner only.

Cannot "connect" a bluetooth enabled kodak photo printer

i have a kodak photo printer 500 that is bluetooth enabled and after going through everything that i could possibly think of on my powerbook i still cannot print to it.
i can get it to connect with the bluetooth file exchange utility but through the printer setup, it will not accept the very same pass key.
anyone familiar with this situation?
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Okay, I just got off the phone with Kodak tech support. There is no way to set this printer up as a printer to print from within a program.
He explained to me that the only way it was designed to work is by clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, selecting Send File, choosing a jpeg from your drive and clicking ok to send it to the printer, basically a file transfer. You have no printer control as far as selecting number of images per sheet or anything.
So don't get rid of your usb cable just yet. I guess it's okay for just sending a quick print from say a bluetooth enable camera phone which works basically the same way. If you were hoping for more you're out of luck on this one.

220v skype home phone?

I currently live in Europe and just ordered the 31591GE1 phone for my house. There was mixed data on if the voltage transformer/adaptor would operate on 220V. Now that I have received it, I can clearly read it is 110v only. Is there a Skype cordless home phone that is 220v ready and is comperable to the 31591GE1?

A skype phone that needs no computer --- just wifi...

dear skype
microsoft owns skype . microsoft owns nokia . i do not understand why microsoft doesn't manufacture a skype only phone using nokia parts . this is a no brainer . every person who has a skype account ( millions of people ) will buy this particular device . skype costs $60 per year plus whatever you have to pay per month for internet . ( please quit saying skype is free . that is a lie . ) do not design a skype phone that plays games or mp3 music or takes pictures or does a bunch of worthless app tricks . all we need is a skype phone that works over any wifi connection ( without a computer ) and costs less than 100 dollars . you can have a model that makes skype video calls for $89 and a model that makes no video calls for $59 . this phone will be the biggest seller -- in units sold -- that nokia has ever produced . do not combine this with a cell phone or a land line phone . ONLY SKYPE OVER WIFI ! this handheld device should also be capable of loading the most recent desktop skpe version for total compatability . thank you .

Solved my issue by setting up a new account on my daughter's computer. Not 100% solved, but i was able to get the update on my 3GS.
