    Ill never do it in public but by myself speaker phone calls are amazing. Being able to take notes or look up stuff with both hands is a game changer.

      Yeah. When I’m working a problem with someone and need my hands free, okay. But that’s a tech call and not a procto appointment.

      I’d love to use a headset, but

      1. New phones are shit and have no jack
      2. Radio earbuds are shit with shit batteries sold by shit companies for shit phones
      3. End of list

      So I’ll talk in my private office on the speakerphone and get things done quickly. And curse ducking Samsung for copping out and ripping the jack out and making all the usual shit excuses because they can’t say “you’ll still buy it ya plebe”.

      Buy a BT headset and you’re all set. My choice is the Poly Voyager Focus 2, now 3 years old and still going strong! I need it for work but use it for all the calls when I can. Look ma, no hands! And some privacy too.
