There are some who might advocate that hands free kits are being used as a marketing tool and as an enticement to get customers to buy their products. In the booming mobile phone industry, hands free kits are being added to mobile packages as standard.
Yet hands free kits have a necessary place in today’s society. Apart from customers being offered a great added feature when they purchase a mobile phone, they offer multi-tasking users’ great functionality. When it comes to driving, hands free kits have no equal.
The choices are vast too, and vary between the traditional two-piece ear type phones to the fast-becoming-popular Bluetooth connections. There is no doubt that any consumer will be able to find a hands free kit that suits them perfectly.
For instance, there are headsets that offer adaptors that allow users to not only make calls, but also listen to music. The practical features of these models make managing calls and listening to music easy. They also offer high compatibility features between different model mobile phones. You don’t have to buy a new hands free kit each time you upgrade your mobile.
It is true that the first attempts at hands free design were poor. But that is a thing of the past and today designers and manufacturers are making sure that their offerings employ new techniques and strategies to produce functional, comfortable and high tech features.
Hands free kits are available in a wide range of styles and designs, and are priced to suit all pockets. For a good quality headset you may pay substantially more, but the conveniences they offer as well as the safety features they provide are worth the investment.

Perhaps the most redeeming feature of any hands free kit is their ability to be used when driving. Since their inception, the risk of accidents has reduced. No longer are motorists forced to navigate with one hand while holding their mobile in the other. It is for this reason that the mobile industry now offers hands free kits designed especially for vehicles.
Some kits require professional installation, yet many portable kits require none. These kits consist of a dash mount that securely and safely hold the mobile while driving.
They work via an inbuilt speakerphone and microphone that allows the caller to both hear and be heard. There are of course alternatives which include hands free kits that offer ear buds. The most economical choice is a portable hands free kit as they can be used in a variety of different locations.
Advancements in technology have produced hands free kits that offer voice recognition. This feature is both a time saving and a security feature as the caller is not distracted when punching in a number on his mobile whilst driving. Further features offer automatic muting that turns down the cars audio device during calls.
In summary, if you spend many hours on the road as part of your job the need for a hands free kit is critical. They are simple to use, easy to install and they offer portability. Hands free kits can be removed in a matter of seconds, they can offer voice recognition. They are economical, reliable and safe.

These hands free kits are hardwired into a cars speaker system and come connected as standard with ISO connections. If your car has ISO wiring then these systems will fit straight in without installation. If you don’t have ISO wiring you will need to make use of wiring adaptors that convert your existing wiring to ISO.
Because integrated hands free kits are hardwired when installed, they get rid of some problems the instant they are installed. For instance they retain their charge through a power cable in the ISO harness, which means you never have to charge the kit. They also provide an Auto-Mute cable that kills your car audio when making or receiving calls.
Most integrated Bluetooth hands free kits come with separate control units, which make it easier to dial or answer, and can be situated anywhere that is convenient for the driver. The newer models provide extra features too that go a long way to improving compatibility and usability. For example there are models that are fully compatible with iPods and which can be fully operated by the control unit and allow browsing, forwarding and volume selection at the touch of a button.
Voice recognition and touch screen monitors come equipped with some models too, and these allow use of your mobile via voice commands. These kits don’t even need training as you just plug it in and go.
Integrated kits give you an all round performance and their audio reproduction is far better than universal kits. They also offer more features than universal hands fee kits, and are easier and safer to operate when driving.
If your needs call for a hands free kit that can do almost anything besides speaking, then an integrated hands free kit is your only option.

Which is better? Most styles, brands and designs essentially do the same thing. They offer hands free call functionality while driving. Among all the various hands free kits on the market, they fall into two categories which are universal kits and integrated kits.
Universal kits are also known as plug and play kits and consist of a portable speaker and microphone combined into one unit. They have strong battery storage so that, when dormant, it can be attached to the sun visor in your car until needed. Many come with a car charger as well as USB chargers that can be connected to a computer for Bluetooth connectivity. They provide excellent sound as well as echo reduction software and hardware, and today’s models pick up less background noise than their predecessors. Universal kits are offered in a host of designs, styles and sizes that range from large to small and petite.
Universal hands free kits can also offer text-to-speech technology that allows voice dictation of text messages, while the more updated kits are today offering voice-to-text technology that can be controlled by voice commands.
Other models offer menu systems that can be fully navigated by speech such as hanging up. Most of these systems can be used equally successfully by social or business users and can be removed in a matter of seconds. They are economical, reliable, aesthetically pleasing and can be shared.
If you have yet to decide which type of hands free kit is best suited to your needs then a universal kit is a great way to start.

Bluetooth hands free kits are widely available for most phone makes and models. They come with a full set of easy to understand controls and commands. They are convenient to use. You can use them even if you wear glasses as they sit comfortably on your ear.
As the name suggests, Bluetooth hands free kits require no hands to use! There are basically two types of Bluetooth headsets. The first type involves an earpiece that loops around your ear. This headset is comfortable but does not fit all that securely. The alternative is less comfortable but more secure. Why they are uncomfortable is that they need to be inserted into the ear itself.
The battery life of these little headsets allows up to ten hours use and, in standby mode, allow up to two hundred hours. They should ideally be worn at all times but as this is not possible it is recommended that you buy the style that offers you easy attachment and detachment.
There have been many questions raised regarding radiation exposure from mobile phones. If you are concerned about radiation then a Bluetooth hands free headset is definitely a good solution.
Another reason to use hands free kits is driving. As long as you are within range of your mobile phone you can still make and receive calls, even if it is in your boot or in your handbag. Apart from safety features, it affords the driver hands free kits also discourages smash and grabs when stopped at intersections.
If you own other Bluetooth devices such as a laptop your kit will be able to connect with them. This makes receiving or making calls when you are connected to your computer very convenient. You won’t have to switch between devices, plus it is a great tool for teleconferencing.

Using a hand held mobile while in control of a moving vehicle is not only stupid and dangerous, it is illegal. The consequences for your staff may be on-the-spot fines and an endorsement, but if they are driving a branded company vehicle the consequences for your business reputation may be even greater.
The good news is that your staff can remain connected on the road without breaking the law, or the bank. Telco Communications supply a range of hands free kits for mobile phone connectivity. If you are already supplying your staff with a business mobile, supplying them with hands free kits or installing hands free connectivity in your company fleet makes a lot of sense and has become an affordable necessity.
Simple connectivity such as that provided by Bluetooth headsets can be obtained for as little as £15 per set – and we can ensure compatibility with your business mobile phones. You can use these inside or outside the car as they are small, light and very portable.
While headsets are great for receiving calls, if you want to make and receive calls inside your car you should consider a built in car kit which will use a microphone and loudspeaker (often your existing in-car entertainment system) so you can call and answer entirely hands free. Telco Communications can arrange to have these quickly installed in your company vehicles, either at your premises or at our headquarters.
Hands free options not only give your staff the connectivity they need, but also allow them to stay within the law while making and receiving calls on the road.

Research has shown that people who drive while holding a mobile phone are more likely to cause an accident. They are less in control of their vehicle and far less alert. Unable to steer successfully people often crash into items, which they would have avoided had they not been holding a mobile phone.
The importance of hands free kits
By using hands free kits when driving, the chance of you risking your own life or someone else’s is drastically reduced. You are able to keep both hands on the wheel and be in control. Hands free kits can be bought at most cellular stores as well as telecommunication service providers such as here at Telco Communications. We like to guarantee the safety of our customers and therefore always promote the use of hands free kits when driving.
Hands free kits are perfect for young learner drivers. Those who do not have that much experience on the road need to use hands free kits while driving so that they can successfully manage the vehicle.
However, more experienced drivers are also encouraged to make use of hands free kits. Besides, in many states, it is against the law to drive while holding a mobile phone because it is a danger to the driver as well as other drivers. Breaking this law can result in heavy fines being issued.
Hands free kits take very little time and effort to set up and use. The staff here at Telco Communications will assist customers if needed so there is no excuse not to have one.
