Plantronics, with a rich history of providing communication headsets for NASA astronauts followed by various infrared and RF devices, today markets its most popular device, the wireless Plantronics Bluetooth headset for mobile phones. The user just selects the function on the cell phone to establish a Bluetooth link to the nearby Plantronics Bluetooth. Once this is done and the option to "answer after two rings" is selected, the user doesn't have to touch the cell phone to receive calls and, with many phones, can even make calls by simply pushing a button on the Bluetooth and saying the callee's name.

A Plantronics Bluetooth headset might save you from a ticket, too. Due to growing concerns about the dangers of drivers being distracted due to talking on a cell phone, many states have outlawed holding and operating a cell phone while driving. However, in most of these places, drivers are allowed to talk as long as they're using a Bluetooth headset.

When in the market for a wireless headset for a cell phone, consider the following:

1. Buy a high end Plantronics Bluetooth with business-quality audio.
2. Save money on a Plantronics Bluetooth from a larger distributor.
3. Acquire a Plantronics from a cell phone store.

Visit an online cell phone store to buy a Plantronics Bluetooth

When buying a new cell phone, it makes sense to let the cell phone provider also be your Plantronics Bluetooth provider. Ask about a Plantronics Bluetooth headset at that time because, often, you can get the headset at a discount if you purchase a phone. A cell phone store will also be able to supply you with any Plantronics Bluetooth information you require.

I recommend: Verizon Wireless carries a good selection of Bluetooth models. Sprint sells a variety of Plantronics Bluetooth headsets through the Nextel website.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Existing devices use any one of the following Bluetooth networking standards: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, or 2.0. Meanwhile, when searching for a Plantronics Bluetooth or other headset, look for one that operates on version 1.2 of the Bluetooth standard because it uses Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) Spread Spectrum, which significantly reduces interference by avoiding frequencies commonly occupied by other types of devices.
