Office Phone System that Supports Bluetooth Headsets
- Thread starter mini4YOU
- Start date
you could get the Plantronics cordless headsets that are Bluetooth, I don't know of a system that would allow existing Bluetooth devices to be connected to it, but I am not to up to date on all systems out there.
Does it have to be Bluetooth so you can use your existing ones or did I just imply that? DO you just need Cordless Headsets? Plantronics has good ones and Bluetooth is so restricted in the range that they have better ones that might be also better suited for your needs and they also work with most systems on the market depending on the type you purchase.

I would like to see an office telephone with Bluetooth capability built-in. So people can pair their own headset.
ie: Nortel 1140e, does anyone know of any other ones?
The plantronics ones are okay.. We have some of them, they are expensive and ocassionaly the handset lifter will break off etc..

check out I'm not sure if it is relevant for your location. Over here in NZ they are sold under the hybrex brand.

Avaya has a DECT system with mobile phones supporting Bluetooth.

NEC has a DT330 or DT730 that has a bluetooth handset that has a 50m range. It is however a handset not a headset.

I would go with a nortel bcm with IP1140 handsets. I have used them in the past with no issues. Handsets are expensive but if you offset that against the cost of traditional headsets it works out not so bad. As a plus there is a full migration path from the norstar to BCM.
We have some Jabra T5330 Bluetooth headsets on Nortel 1140 IP phones and have had a lot of trouble keeping them paired with the phones. If it is a single headset without another in the office it will work for a while and then need to be paired again. I had one office with 3 Bluetooth headsets in the same office and had trouble every day. I changd them out for Jabra GN9330 USB headsets and dont have any more trouble. Too many headaches for me to keep them going and the users dont seem to understand having to pair them again and again.
The Iwatsu ECS product with ICON phones can do bluetooth. Go to this link to view phone options (you may need to copy/paste into your browser:

The Alcatel OMNI PCX and their new IP phones have BT built right into them (IP Touch)
you can pair them up with a BT Headset or use their optional cordless BT receivers.
Solid system, great features, easy to maintain and reliable.

I forgot where I saw this but I saw an asterisk solution a while back that had bluetooth access points integrated into it. When bluetooth users walked out of the office, the bluetooth server would notify the pbx and then set the users call forwarding to out of office. when the user returned, call fwd was automatically turned off.
LG Nortel has PBX systems like ipLDK-100/300 or iPECS (USA: Vodavi StarPlus STS · Vodavi Telenium IP · Vodavi XTS IP where the keysets can have a Bluetooth headset adaptor installed.
In the US it is vertical that is the distributor:
Otherwise google LG-Nortel.com

Avaya 9600 series phones can have a bluetooth adapter that makes it possible. That means either using Communication Manager or IP Office R6 to get these phones working.
Just read in the new IP Office manual that they have that so it was new to me too
