Bluetooth Question

I have two bluetooth enabled phones and would like to know if there is a headset available that would allow me to use one headset for both phones. Thanks in advance.

They can't use both phones at the same time (natch) but he did pair it to both phones (one at a time.)

Did you try this?

BLUETOOTH

YES TYPICALLY A BLUETOOTH HEADSET CAN PAIR UP WITH MANY PHONES DEPENDING UPON IT'S CAPABILITY. I HAVE MOTOROLA HS820 AND IT WOULD PAIR UP TO 8 BLUETOOTH ENABLED PHONES AND IF YOU ADD MORE TO IT, IT WILL START DROPPING OUT THE FIRST ONE. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT.

one more question

Yes that helps. If it is paired with more than one phone can all phones be on and operational at the same time?

Are you saying you are trying to connect multiple handsets to the same Bluethooth headset at the same time?? If so, I don't think it is possible. Of course a headset can be used on multiple phones, one at a time.
