Answer w/ Bluetooth Headset?

I'm considering getting a softphone account, and a bluetooth headset. My question is this: when a call comes in, how do I answer it? Can I answer from my headset, like with a cell phone, or do I need to connect from the software instead? Also, can I only use the software provided by Vonage, or can I use other applications out there? If so, what are they, and are they better?

Vonage offers the best softphone serice you'll get. There are other providers, but they don't have the backbone strength of Vonage.

I'm not sure if the softphone generates a ringtone signal that can be shuttled out via a dongle or something to turn on a BT headset or not; somethng has to tell the headset to turn itself on and begin transceiving - a "ring signal", if you would.

However, there is a very reliable vendor, [web]http://www.eMicrophones.com[/web] who carrys the BlueParrot Headsets that are the premier BT tops, they render 'speech recognition quality' audio, (far and above BT headsets made for cellphones) can auto-answer a generated ring signal and if anyonye could make it work for you I'm sure they could.

I think even with the buttons on the headset itself, you'll have to get up and answer the phone on the computer before you hear anything on the headset.
