Barry,
I'm a bit confused. Do you need to get a separate service contract for personal use of your work phone now, are you planning on using a new personal phone for work, or are you asking for some future possibility? If it's for the future, I'd wait and ask if/when it happens, as cell phone plans and prices change fairly often.
BT headsets are pretty inexpensive. I haven't tried a lot of them, but my personal favorites have been Plantronics Voyager models (I currently use a Voyager Legend). Good quality and comfortable fit. Those are single ear models and not for stereo listening. The stereo ones (and least the ones that I've used that fit into your ears) sound a bit odd when you're talking on the phone because you hear yourself kind of like how it sounds when you plug your ears with your fingers.
I apologize for not being more clear. Yeah, this won't help...
I asked my boss if I could give him $10-$20.00 a month to use the phone as a 'personal' (So my dad can get me when he needs me) phone as well as work. He said that wasn't necessary to pay him. And, that I could get a either a BT/Hf unit at my expense. He also said I could 'have' the phone after the two year contract (which he pays for now) expired, not sure when, but, I would then be responsible for any monthly fees.
So I'm thinking ahead. Looking at options. The is an Iphone 3 GS which I'm sure would be considered antiquated by some, but it suits my needs for now. I'm not a 'crackberry' type, meaning I'm not on my phone 24/7. I use it for work and emergencies.
Ok, soooo, I guess at this point I should focus on the BT/HF and be done until the contract ends.
WOW! The Plantronics are expensive. Hmm. I'm looking for cheap,
. Just something good enough, and compatible with an Iphone, that I don't crash my truck when the office calls and I grab the phone.
Funny. I'm looking at a $600.00 subwoofer, but don't want to pay $40.00 a month for a cell phone... If anyone see's my priorities, please send them back to me.
