How to Make a Call Using a Bluetooth Headset on a Treo Smartphone

Headsets for your phone are great, they let you make phone calls without having to hold the phone to your ear, although the little earphones can cause problems for some people. So even though you may not have to hold the phone you may have to juggle the two ear phones should they fall out of your ears from time to time! But Bluetooth headsets are said to be even better, because you simply do not need to use ear plugs at all. Additional benefits include the ease of use and simplicity that you expect from new technology such as Bluetooth.

Tips & Warnings Your Bluetooth headset must be within range for it to work. The range of Bluetooth is about 98 feet (30 meters). Because all calls are automatically routed to the Bluetooth headset, it can actually cause a problem. Imagine you left the Bluetooth headset in your car and popped inside for something. If it's still in range then even if you answer your phone you can't hear because it's routed to the headset! Sometimes Bluetooth headsets lose the information about pairing, and you have to set them up again. This is less of a problem with the more expensive models. It is possible for other people to listen to your conversation by hacking into your Bluetooth signal. However, there is no evidence that this is any more likely to happen than with a normal wireless telephone.
