Use of Bluetooth phone

[Alan Kutner]

Here is my problem. I have a bluetooth phone and it works great. I have it set up so that it rings once before it automatically picks up and then I talk over the hands free system. My problem is when I am driving with one or more passangers and I don't want them to hear my conversation. I know I can transfer the phone to my hand set if I am stopped, but what if I am on the Freeway with no traffic lights ahead. What do I do? Tell the caller I will call back because I can't have a private conversation with him/her?
Is there a way to transfer the call while the car is moving?

It depends on the phone.

Both my old LG PM-325 and my new Sanyo Katana have "in call" menus with options that allow transferring a call from the car's Hands Free system to the phone itself.

[Cheap!]

It depends on if you installed a BT speed wire interrupt mod.

I didn't see the make of your phone in your post, but I have a Blackberry 7250. It (and probably MOST Bluetooth phones) has a "switch call to handset" selection while the call is in progress. On the Blackberry, all I have to do is press the thumbwheel once and a menu appears. One of the selections is to switch the call to the handset.

I'm sure your phone has it. Just experiment a little and I am sure you will find it. Either that, or you could always read the phones operators manual!!!!

Good luck!

Thank you. You are indeed correct, My cell phone allows me to switch between hands free and hand-set. I just did not know it.
