Hi all!
Wasn't sure what board to post this in, but considering it's an IPhone question I thought that this'd be a good place. :)
I'm looking for a wireless headset, or even something that is small preferely wireless that I can use on my IPhone 5.
You see, I have to listen for a timer to go off whenever my session with my clients has ended and I need something discreet that I can hear to let me know the hour is up but that the clients ither won't hear it or they'll think it's just part of the music playing in the background. Gah, I hope this makes sense!!!!
I need something that looks discreet on me as well. Since this problem happened, I've used my regular headset that came with the Iphone however it's getting in my way. Any suggestions would be great!
Don't use a headset at all. The phone will vibrate on mute.
I know, but I can't find a timer that'll just vibrate after I set it without saying anything. Whenever I use my phone's timer, in the clock app, it always says, "Timer done. slide to stop timer." ugh it's so annoying! Any idea to get past this? It is when voice over is a curse lol..
Once it is set, turn voice over off. Tap the screen twice with 3 fingers.
Need it back, tap the screen with 3 fingers. Lol.
Here is another idea for you.
Because wireless headset aren’t particular unnoticeable, your regular headset that came with the phone is great. It is small and such.
Now, you said it gets in the way, so here is the fix.

This gadget can be purchased in several colors, and I really like mind.
You clip it to anything on you want, like your shirt collar, and I personally run the wires underneath mine, so any hand motion won’t hit the wires as all.
There are also not visible in the front of you, but that is up to you.
You clip the cable in the holder at any point you like.
If you are using a headset with a cable that is two thick for the holder, you can simply wrap it around and it stays put as well.
Another idea, would be a Bluetooth vibrating wristband, or bracelet. You can put the phone anyplace as long as it is in reach signal wise, and the band will vibrate for different type of alerts.
I don’t have one of these, but it be a neat device.
Amazon has them, and other places.
That way, if you can’t exactly feel the phone vibrating in your pocket or whatever, you will surely feel it on your wrist.
These come in different colors, and the vibrator is simply put inside of it, so you can had several colors to match your outfit if you want.
oh wow had no idea!! Very interesting!!
Since I do massage putting the band on my wrist won't do but maybe I can have something in my pocket that'll do the trick. Thanks so much about the clip idea I bet it's a lot cheaper than a wireless headset!
As for the voice over thing, thanks for pointing that out. I forget I can do that. :)
Put the phone in your pocket. Smile.
Click the side switch to mute after you've turn off the voice.
Also the wristband can be worn on your ankle.
Sometimes with the phone in your pocket, it moves away from your body, so the vibration isn't as strong.
Another idea is to purchease a bluetooth ear peace. I got mine at Walmart, not sure what brand it is though.
