how does this work with a cell phone? I'm hard of hearing and need to hear my phone ring louder and the voice louder, thanks

Does not work well with a cell phone. When you have your phone connected to the speaker and try to answer a call, no one can hear you. Have to turn off the speaker first, readjust your mic settings and then call the person back. Also, it's loud if you're in the same room, but overall it really is not very loud. Can probably hear from 8 feet away max.

This is an excellent device that works very well with iPhones as well as Android phones for music or audio books. The automated voice has an amusing accents but other than that the product is well worth buying if that is how you intend to use it. When people call they cannot hear me speak to them because there is no mic available. If you are just wanting to be sure you do not miss a phone call this would work very well but you would have to shift from the Bluetooth to the speakerphone on your cell phone in order to have a conversation.

I'm not sure about that, I've only used it to listen to audio books and music. I haven't used it on a telephone call.

I don't have that exact situation but I have a hard time hearing people and they can't hear me. I understand it's because the phone is waterproof and everything is blocked. I'll stick with my life proof which is not as bad

The phone does have a loud setting, but I still find it difficult to hear the person I am communicating with in an environment with normal background noise. I would suggest that the purchase of a more specialized phone would be more suitable for your needs.

My husband has this phone with an otterbox, and I always hear myself echo when I talk to him, but not with anyone else. It must be the phone, not the case.

I haven't had any troubles with people hearing me, they hear me just fine. When you get someone on the phone use the side volume button and turn it up. If you don't this already then there's something wrong with your phone. I would then go to a Verizon store and ask them. Hopefully this will of some help to you! Good luck!

Once the cell phone is connected to the speaker via Bluetooth, the volume of the speaker is control by the phone. The phone's built-in speaker is in mute. I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for!

There is not a problem hearing the caller, I use the base, handset and speaker phone in addition to the portable, handset and speaker phone and insert an earpiece in it sometimes. All are clear and loud, they all have a volume control which I normally use at a 3 (out of 5) level

You can turn the volume up on the phone and it gets louder on the watch. I am using it on iPhone 5. Everything works just like a blue tooth ear piece. Music plays though the watch to.

I was told that I sounded muffled when on my cellphone but was able to hear me, anyone else? Is there a "fix" for this?

You set your cell phone on silent alert, place the phone behind the unit (slip it between the unit and the elastic band), and you're done. If you get a phone call, the vibration of the phone causes the RingMaster to go off. You can adjust the volume on the unit to your liking. I am pleased with mine and feel it was a worthwhile purchase.

I need a phone for him because of health reasons. this sounds like a great phone. but still wondering about the volumes of the ringer and also the voice volume when you are talking.. thanks

I have a cordless phone and cell phone and have used both in the same location as the speakers. Nothing has happened to either phones reception or sound. Also have not had any issue with sound from the speakers. I mute the speakers when using either phone where the speakers are. When using the phones and not in the chair where speakers are, I do not mute the speakers and have no issues with phone or speaker use. Others use phones in the same room and no issues. Have not noted any issues at my Father-in-law's, who also has the speakers, when cordless and cell phones are used. So no issues and nothing happens as all devices continue to work normally.

You cannot turn the volume down enough on your phone. They are very loud and are designed for a call center with a lot of noise and a weak signal. I wear mine at the top of my ears to buffer the loud noise and turn the phone all the way down. If you are half deaf they are great.

I am sorry I don't have the answer to your question as I have my cell phone connected to the phone. I have trouble hearing my cell phone ring at times as this way I can hear it ring clearly. I hope you can find the answer you need.

All 4 phones I have are fine for sound, and the answering machine part is clear. You can make it louder or lower for sound. I find the people calling me, especially on cell phones, that don't come in clear. It depends on where they are for good reception.

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.
