One wireless headset feature that's remained popular since the day it was introduced over a decade ago is remote call answering. What is that you ask? Here's the long and short of it:

What happens  when you miss incoming phone calls? Many times those callers leave a voice message because they weren't able to get ahold of you. They're disappointed, and you have messages to listen to, and calls  to return. Remote call answering solves that problem.

With this feature, you can step away from your desk, and when a call comes in, you hear a quiet tone in the headset earpiece. That's  to notify you of the incoming  call. Once notified,  all that needs to be done to take the call is press the call control button on the side of the headset. To end the call, press the same button a second time. This feature will work to the distance of your wireless headset's range, generally up to 100 feet for Bluetooth headsets, and up to 300 feet for  DECT models. 

The original device that was used to take calls remotely is called a handset lifter because part of its overall functionality was to "lift" the telephone handset receiver in order to take a call remotely. They're still in use today, and they work pretty well  overall. One problem area is the double sided tape  that adheres it to the phone loosens up over time and causes the lifter to get out of alignment. EHS cables, like the Yealink  EHS40 doesn't have this issue because it accesses calls electronically rather than relying on mechanics.

The Yealink  EHS40 works with the leading wireless headset brands including:

• Poly (formerly Plantronics)
• Jabra
• EPOS (formerly Sennheiser)
• Discover

Simply select the appropriate cable for your particular headset among the 3 that are included, connect the other end to the Yealink  phone, and you're ready to take calls remotely. It's easy, it's efficient, and it's a feature your customers will really appreciate. And if you're wondering what Yealink  phone models the EHS40 works with, well here are different models it's compatible with:
