Vicki, our phones don't have a headset jack per se, but they do have a slot for a headset adapter and then you plug the headset into that. And our phones are super thin. But here again, when I'm on the phone, I prefer to sit down and talk on the phone. Multi-tasking is great but I like to give the person I'm talking to my full attention. So yeah, we have our phones, the headset adapter and a headset. Have I used it yet? Nope. And I don't know that I will, at least not until I can find a headset that goes over the head. I don't like and am not crazy about the "ear bud" thing. I can never get the ear buds to stay in. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Awww, darn it all anyway! We were both sure you'd cave in and come home with a new phone. I prefer a flip myself although the new Chocolates do slide up and down to protect the keys when not in use. I asked Punkie this morning about their phones. She *did* get the music package for Travis, although she can use it on her phone too. But Travis will be a teenager in a month. I don't need music on my phone either.......I just need a good phone that works as a phone!! I wouldn't want to use it to listen to music while I'm walking because I'd rather listen to the wind, the birds, whatever. Besides, if you're listening to music, you can't be totally aware of your surroundings and in today's world, whether you live in a city or rural area, that's so important. Kidnappings can happen in an instant, especially if you don't know what's going on around you." on 10:19:51 am, Sat, 09/29/07

I'm usually holding an animal or having to let dogs in or out, so I could not live without my headset! I need my hands free when I'm talking, and if I tuck the phone against my shoulder, it's off to the chiropractor for me! I have a Plantronics over-the-head headset that works on my cell and on my land-line phone. Since I'm on the phone so much with my Humane Society work, and needing to write things when I'm talking to volunteers, it's a life saver for me!! (NT) -- V~, 10:34:06 am, Sat, 09/29/07
Now THAT'S the kind of headset I need. But I need one with a good volume control on the ear. My left ear, which is the one I use on the phone, is okay, but my right ear has a pronounced hearing loss. And I've learned, like you, that it's hard, if not impossible, to cradle a cell phone on your shoulder. Takes my neck out instantly. I guess I'll have to check out Office Depot or Office Max and see what they have for headsets. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:57:29 am, Sat, 09/29/07
Sandy, here's a link to the one I have. I also have some hearing loss from a very bad ear infection as a child. This one has volume control and a mute button right on the cord. It has great voice quality.
