Equipment For Real Estate....

About a month ago a hands free while driving law went into effect here in Utah.  That means you're breaking the law to manipulate your cell phone while driving a vehicle.  I probably should have prefaced that opening by saying I have never been a fan of the in the ear Blue Tooth devices.  Anyway back to where I was going with this.

The law state that you can hold the phone to your ear, but you really can't do more than that.  I don't know about anyone else, but that really didn't work.  I will admit that I have on occasion been a distracted driver, trying to find a number.  I have never really gotten into texting, so texting and driving hasn't been an issue, just the looking at my phone while trying to find a number.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like to get tickets.  I hate paying them!  So I went out and purchased the Plantronics Voyager Legend.  I love it! It set around your ear, like an old styled hearing aid, but it has a soft rubber cup that inserts inside of your ear. (I have a hard time hearing the over the ear models). It also has a very good noise cancelling mic, people can't even tell that I am talking to them with it.

Like most devices it is voice activated and can call numbers from your contacts.  You can also decline calls.  What I am saying is that I really like this device!  In fact I prefer making calls with it even when I am not driving so that I can use my hands for something else, like writing a blog or an email or, well, you get the idea.  I do recommend the Plantronics Voyager Legend. And for those who carry two phones, you can attach a second phone to this and it works just like the first phone.

I really like it, and it hasn't seem too hot to keep it in.  Who knows once it really starts to get really hot, but then when that happens, my hair seems too hot to continue wearing! Just kidding, anyway, have a great day!

This is a photo of the Voyager Legend by Plantronics, this photo was taken from their web site and not one of our own photos.

As much as I like the Plantronic Voyager Legend, it isn't as cool as the beauty above!

Tony and Darcy, it IS very unsafe to drive and talk, let alone text, on a cell phone so this is a good way to go to comply with your new law in Utah.  I do love the picture of the old car!

     Driving that beautiful car down the road would be a distraction to other drivers; they would be turning heads to look at that gorgeous ride!

I love that Model "T" Tony & Darcy. I hooked on my Plantronics Voyager Legend but I only use it in my office so I can write and use the keyboard. I totally agree with you though, but my care has built in Bluetooth.

Don't drive while holding a cell phone to your ear or text while on the road.

Sarah & Lester, I sure do like mine!

Sharon and Bruce, I love it too!  It is probably a good thing I don't have millions of dollars, there are so many great cars like this!

Fred, No argument here!

Noah, I don't have blue tooth in my car, but I do love being able to be able to type while I am talking on the phone.

I wish they would enact that law in supermarkets too.  I've been ran into a couple times in recent months.  Once resulted in a bruised foot, the other a banged up ankle.

Tony - When I was a kid using the phone in the car worked great right up to the point that the wire ended and the phone flew out the car window.  Closing the window did little good as I just ended up replacing the window.  Oh well...

Bye the way, I like the car in the picture, have always wanted one, will have to do something about that one day soon.
