    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.

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

    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!!!! :D

    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.
