Good morning Donna and all:Donna. You can relight your enthusiasm for getting an Iphone (smile). It is not a requirement to have a head set on to answer or hang up from calls. You can do both quite nicely without the headset. I had to get used to the reality that moving the Iphone toggles the speaker phone. It was not an annoyance just a little surprising at first (wink). My niece thought it was pretty cool (smile). Now to keep her from running off with it. Is there an app for that?

Hi all,As one who doesn't yet have an iphone, the problem is this issue of requiring a headset. I don't *want to *have to wear a head set to use this phone. Apple really needs to address this. I was really hot about getting the iphone, now I'm pulling back. If I can't answer and end a call unless I'm wearing headphones, this isn't a phone I'm ever going to buy.Best, Donna-----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover- bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lodro Rigdzin Sent: Saturday, June 27, 2009 1:51 PM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: terminating calls on the iphone The iphone headset that comes with the phone has a microphone afaik -original message- Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: terminating calls on the iphone From: "Marco" <news@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 27/06/2009 19:22I thought that the 3GS came with a ear bud set with a mic on the cord.My nokia phone has this on the ear buds and it works great for answering and ending calls as well as talking handsfree. Maybe it is under the accessories page that apple has under apple.com/accessibility.I've not checked out this sight yet but maybe it might have suggestionsfor accessibility devices that will make your IPhone experience even better.

So if I can't hear voiceover say "answer" and "end call" I just double tap until it answers or hangs up. Usually, though not always, it will eventually hang upanyway. A couple of times I haven't managed to answer till the third or fourth ring but I haven't actually missed a call this way yet. What we probably need is an independent way to turn up voiceover without havingtoget it to talk to turn it up. I wonder: if you had a real headset withthe microphone built on instead of just the earbuds, is there an auto- answer setting? Or could you get a headset with an answer button on the headset? These might be options if you didn't mind wearing a headset all the time, though I think I'd rather not do this. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the linkbelow.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the linkbelow.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the linkbelow.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverChecked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.375 / Virus Database: 270.12.93/2205 - Release Date: 06/27/09 05:53:00Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
