My Jabra BT250v died last week. I’m not sure how it died but I was able to hear people but they weren’t able to hear me no matter how loud I yelled. This is my third Jabra BT headset. As you can imagine, this is my third one because they are incredibly comfortable. Yes, the Jabra BT headsets lose their pairing with your BT phones sometimes. Yes, they are NOT noise cancelling, but they are incredibly comfortable while driving, walking, sitting, anything.
The first was the Jabra BT200 which I used with my Sony Ericsson T68i and my Sony Ericsson T610. The BT200 died after 18 months of use. All I could hear out of it when I answered a call using the phone was static. Jabra wasn’t able to provide a fix so I trashed it and bought my second Jabra, a BT250. The BT250 was working fine but I misplaced it after a few months of use and so I bought the BT250v through Cingular (GSM service provider in the US).
After 6 months of usage the mic stopped working. I walked into Cingular and though the sales person wasn’t the friendliest, she was competent. She looked up my account, saw that I purchased the BT 250v roughly 6 months ago, went to the back, pulled a brand new BT 250v, opened it up and gave me the new headset and took my old one. I never received that kind of service from a phone company.
When I used Sprint, the woman at the door was rude, incompetent, and unwilling to get up off her chair to help a customer ( after berating the buy in front of me ). I had to call up Sprint and cancel my service immediately because of the employee. They offered me a free phone of my choosing and six months free service but I couldn’t deal with their horrible customer service and went over to Cingular – Thank Goodness!
