No Wires. No Hands. All Business.
The Plantronics Calisto Pro is a fully integrated, hands-free phone system that will redefine the way you work at home or in your home office. Offering unprecedented levels of versatility and freedom, this innovative, compact system is ideal for anyone who multi-tasks while talking on the phone. The Calisto Pro lets you communicate hands-free as you email, roam around your home office or home, or even cook dinner. And for the ultimate in convenience and efficiency, it lets you seamlessly switch between your landline, your VoIP service, and your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone calls.

And thanks to the system's superior noise-canceling Bluetooth headset with extended mouthpiece, you'll always sound professional. The Calisto Pro phone operates on DECT 6.0 frequency, which means that call clarity is not affected by Wi-Fi networks or home appliances, such as the microwave, and you can roam up to 300 feet from the base without suffering any degradation in sound quality.

Streamlined, Ergonomic Design
The Plantronics Calisto Pro features a streamlined and elegant look that's designed to reduce desktop clutter. The base doubles as a one-stop docking and charging station, and holds both the Bluetooth headset and the compact handset. It includes a USB port that lets you connect to your PC to sync your Outlook contacts in a matter of minutes (the handset has the capacity to hold up to 200 Outlook contact with three phone numbers each) and connect to either your Yahoo! Voice or Skype VoIP service.

The compact handset docks neatly into the base and includes all the calling features you'd expect in a phone, including caller ID, call waiting, 3-way conferencing, redial, speed dial, and more. It features a large, high-resolution LCD for easy viewing and offers up to eight hours of talk time, or 120 hours of standby time, away from the base. A flip-up waist clip lets you carry the handset with you hands-free as you roam.

The Bluetooth headset also offers up to eight hours of talk time, or 240 hours of standby time, per charge, and can be used with your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone wherever your travels take you. And because the headset's features a superior noise-canceling microphone with an extended mouthpiece, you'll never have to worry about sound quality.

Landline, VoIP or Cell--It's Your Choice

The Calisto Pro also lets you easily switch over to a call on your landline or answer your Bluetooth enabled cell phone through your headset.

The Calisto Pro brings a touch of elegance and a whole lot of convenience into your home office. It's compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista and is backed by a 1-year warranty.

5 out of 5 stars No more tangled cords!   July 26, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Ordered the Plantronics because I sometimes work at home, but am still attached to corporate phone system via a VPN. I was using a normal wireless internal house phone and an earphone/microphone that plugs into the wireless phone via the 3/32nds inch plug on the side. When walking around the home office, I would constantly catch the cord on something, pulling the phone off the beltclip or the earplug from my ear.

This Plantronics device eliminates the cord and replace the wireless phone. Instead, it uses BlueTooth from its clip pack (about the size of a pack of cigarettes) to the BlueTooth headset (which also works with any BlueTooth enabled cell phone) - no cords to tangle. Sound quality is excellent, the earpiece is lightweight but still stays on the ear, and the range is greater than just the wireless house phone itself, which it can replace.

An added benefit is that if you attach the base unit to a PC via a USB cable, and that PC is connected to the Internet, you can use this system as an Internet/VoIP phone system.

Battery life is very good - a 6 hour support call reduced it to about 50% (something the house wireless phones couldn't do - had to grab another phone and transfer the call) The base is also the charger, and works well - place the beltpack in the base and it starts charging. Snap the headset into the base, and it starts charging.

Worth the money spent - having purchased about 8 different headsets before this, I have problably spent close to the price just in destroyed headsets!



5 out of 5 stars Best phone I have ever owned!   July 25, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The title says it all. The sound quality is amazingly clear and the headpiece fits perfectly. I work from home and this phone has been one of the best additions to my office in a long time. I can wear the headpiece all day without problems. The phone also comes with a fantastic speaker phone on the handset. The menus on the phone are highly intuitive and easy to navigate.

I was able to effortlessly synchronize my Outlook contacts with the included software. I have over 400 Outlook contacts and the phone only holds 200. During the synch process, I was able to select only those entries that I needed (which only came out to 98 contacts!). When I want to add a name, I use the Outlook Phonebook Utility on my laptop and save it (synch) to the phone.

Battery life has not been an issue. I have been able to use it for several days without returning it to the base for a charge.

I had to contact customer service with a question on "Registering the handset to the Base". Everything was working out of the box, however, I wanted to know how to manually register (the manual was not very clear on this). The customer service representative was able to answer my question in minutes. Great customer support.

I only wish Plantronics had a two-line version of this phone. The price tag is on the high end ($249.00); however this phone has been worth every penny. I highly recommend this phone.



3 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointing for the Money   July 21, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I work in sales from my home so I'm on the phone quite a bit. I was using a GE cordless phone with a corded headset for a number of years and that worked well but, was limited. I decided that it was time to take the plunge and get some new technology.

With a price tag over $200 I was expecting a lot more from Plantronics. The sound quality is good but, there is constant crackling and pops in the background, just loud enough to be distracting. I thought this might be my WiFi system but when that is turned off the subtle background noise is still there.

Plantronics could have done a much better job on the display. I've seen better ones on toys. With the ability to store 200 names and phone numbers you should have an easy way of accessing them. In my phone with only about 75 names there's plenty of button presses to find the correct one.

The headset is very light weight comfortable and easy to grab and put on your ear. Unfortunately this doesn't make up for the shortcomings so, I gave it only three stars.



4 out of 5 stars Good phone, Great service from Plantronics   July 21, 2008

I love this phone, it make working from home so much easier.
My unit have some issue after a month of use (one of the key doesn't work).
Called Plantronics, they send me the replacement unit and I got it in 3 days.
Great service. They ship me the replacement unit first, then i ship my broken unit back to them. No question asked.



5 out of 5 stars Great phone. Makes working at home that much better.   July 20, 2008

Being that cellular Bluetooth is so common - I don't understand why home bluetooth phones are so hard to come by - but thank goodness Plantronics came up with a good one. I highly recommend this product to anyone who works from home, as I do. And the customer service is pretty good too; I thought my headset went bad (turned out to be an easily fixed connection issue), but they were ready to ship me out a new unit right away.
