Howdy - LGVX600 user and getting a bit tired of having to flip open the phone everytime I get a call.

I use an earpiece 24/7 for the hands free convenience but flipping open the phone each time it rings is a drag. Flip open, any key and send only are the options for manually answering and I'm aware of the 1, 3 ring auto answer option but is there a way to program the "voice dial" key on the side of the phone for answering?

The auto answer would work but I would have to constantly monitor it for specific situations...too much hassle. Phone closed, one button push for anwering would be much better.

Please help.

Thanks.

As far as I know the only way to answer the phone while it's closed with an earpiece is to open the phone or use the auto answer as you described. I know that the auto-answer was the option I used with the car adapter.

How would you have to "monitor it for specific situations" if you had the auto answer, it should pick up after 1, 3 rings etc.. You would just have to hear the ringer as always then insert your ear piece and wait a few seconds..

thanks for your help.

it's just a pain to have to flip open the phone to answer while i'm driving or at my desk and auto answer is not always practical if i'm in a meeting, unable to hear the cell ring or am not in a position to answer it.

if there's no way around it, guess i'll just have to get used to it.

thanks again for your input.

I'm almost sure there are headsets you can buy that have an answer/call termination button. Check on Verizon or LG's websites.

I know that some of the Nokia phones had earpieces with this button, but I had a earpiece I bought from VZW with my 4400 and it didn't do anything..

unfortunetly LG phones i.e. 6K does not support that feature on the headset...

axvx8xoxr · 08-17-2004, 11:12 PM

yeah that's one thing that has always kinda disappointed me about the LG phones..

That's so strange, because in the back of my manual it has a headset and it says that it has an answer button....go figure.

maybe with your 4500, but as far as the 6K goes that's a no go, unless it was fixed with a software upgrade but i haven't heard anything about...

I tried using a headset with an answer button on my 7000 and no luck, my manual also shows this headset but has no specific information about it.
