Making phonecalls to and receiving calls from other people while on the go was the reason cellular phones were invented. While this continues to be the main functionality of all mobile devices, the new generation of mobile handsets bring with them a vast range of functions that overshadow the idea of the basic phonecall / conversation.
To use the mobile phone to make voice calls: Turn the phone on (press the PWR button on some phones). Make sure the batteries are charged or that the phone is plugged into the charger. Dial the number as you would on a normal phone. Press the Send / Call key (usually a green key marked). Wait for ringing. Let the person on the other end say hello. Speak normally. Press the End key (it’s usually red) to hang up. Answer a ringing cellular phone by pressing the Send key as well. On some models, just flip open the phone cover to answer.
Mobile Headsets
When Bluetooth (short range, radio frequency communication standard for wireless connectivity) first became available, one of the first devices to take advantage of this new protocol was the cellular phone. The protocol was perfect for short range use such as synchronizing the phone to your computer, using the phone as a modem, or wireless, hands-free headsets.
Choosing the right headset is important. Here are some questions to ask when selecting a headset for a mobile device:
- Will this add on to my cell phone bill any more than the cost to buy the device?
- Ask yourself how much can you afford to spend on this?
Make sure your handset will work with and supports the mobile headset before making a purchase. Mobile headset choice can affect the quality of your conversations as well as cell phone reception. Using the wrong headset can damage your phone and void the warranty.
