Bluetooth®

Description

Bluetooth is a wireless networking technology designed primarily to replace cables for communication between personal computing and communication devices. For example, Bluetooth technology allows you to use a wireless headset to place and receive calls.

How to Get It

In order to use Bluetooth, you'll need a Bluetooth-enabled device and headset, both of which can be purchased online.

How to Use It

Instructions for use vary by phone manufacturer and headset. You should consult your phone's equipment guide for more information.

Top Questions

Which Bluetooth® profiles does Verizon Wireless currently include?

Rather than discuss specific profiles, Verizon Wireless has found it more helpful to our customers to discuss Bluetooth functionality. For functionality included on each of our Bluetooth-enabled devices, refer to the following:

Profiles for handsets (e.g., Motorola, LG)
Profiles for PDAs (e.g., BlackBerry®, Palm®)


Note: To view the PDF files, you may need to download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

What is the Bluetooth® hands-free profile?

The Bluetooth hands-free profile allows the use of hands-free accessories, such as car kits and portable speaker devices. Verizon Wireless recommends that the customer check the car kit interoperability chart prior to purchasing a Bluetooth capable device. Interoperability with car kits varies and not all Bluetooth features are supported in every car kit.

Follow these steps:

  1. Charge the headset completely before beginning.
  2. Power up the device.
