Re: Replacement for Plantronics voyager edge?

2019-09-29 Thread Andy Baracco

The last time i checked, the Voyager 5200 was the latest, but i believe that 
the legend and Edge are still available.  But the one I have really come to 
enjoy are the Plantronics Back Beat Fit 3100.  They are stereo buds but you 
can wear only one if you wish.  Also note that PlanPlantronics was bought 
out by Polycom, but I think they are still using the Plantronics name.

Subject: Replacement for Plantronics voyager edge?


Hello listers,

My Plantronics voyager edge is in need of replacement because its battery is 
no longer holding a full charge. This has been one of my all-time favorite 
Bluetooth earpieces so I'm looking for a replacement. Has Plantronics come 
up with a newer model or is the voyager edge still the latest version of 
that headset? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Re: Silence Unknown Callers is great!

2019-09-28 Thread Andy Baracco

But you would need to know the number that they call from, and if all you are
being told is that it is an unknown caller, you don't have that info.

If you put your para transit phone number into your contacts, that call will
go through. That’s actually better than having the carrier do it, because they
probably will screen it out as a Robo.

Subject: RE: Silence Unknown Callers is great!

I like the way this is implemented on Android somewhat better though and
for that reason I haven’t implemented it on my Iphone although I’d like to.

On Android, it doesn’t block all unknown callers but blocks those that
might have spam characteristics. I had a lot of calls in my recents on that
phone, a few of which were spam. It identified them all correctly.

But I do get some legitimate calls from people I haven’t bothered to add
to my contacts because they don’t call much, usually related to some event I’m
part of or whatever, and they’re definitely not spam. So I feel like this is
too global. Another example of calls I get are from state agencies which mask
their numbers using other numbers. No idea why, it’s totally supid, and I can
recognize them even if they’ve never used that number before, but it makes it
impossible to enter them in your contacts because they never call from the real
number.

On my Android phone, it was able to determine that these weren’t spam,
but if they were, I could make a rule for that and they’d probably all be.

So I hope that Apple will get more sophisticated about this over time
because I like the concept.

I know some have complained loudly and persistently about iOS13, but if
it added nothing but the silence unknown callers, it is completely worth it to
me.

I was checking my recent calls list for a completely unrelated issue and
there was a number I did not recognize from another State. It happened at a
time I was using Voice Dream Reader and I had no idea a call had happened.

They didn’t leave a voice mail, so as I do with such things, I blocked
the number.

But, I did not get interrupted, which is fabulous in my book.

I have received an increasing number of robo calls in the last 6 months,
so this is worth any other issues to me.

Just my 2¢ worth.

i think that this service would be more effective if provided by the carrier
rather than the device manufacturer.

Have you given that kind of detail to apple Accessibility?

I have wanted various kinds of rule settings for a long time. I’d especially
like to create a rule for Emails like you can in Outlook.

I know now I can mute threads kind of, but that isn’t quite the same.

If Apple could do something like what you are describing, that would be
better for sure.

But again, they can leave messages and you can tell from the phone app that
you have received a new call. Unless someone turns off badges for the phone
app.
