Hello everyone I use a pair of Bluetooth headphones to answer the phone. They are LG Bluetooth headphones. When a call comes in I press the button on the right hand side of the headphones answer the phone. The same button also in the Call. The neck band on the headphones vibrates. So you don’t always have to have the headphones in your ear.
