Default Handy telephone device that works

As seen on TV. "Hold your phone absolutely hands free." It looks so cool on TV but one wonders if it will really work. As many of you suffered the same as I, holding the telephone has become a difficult task. My daughter, who is always looking for something to make my life easier, came across the GoJo which is simply a springy plastic strap that secures a phone to my ear, hands free. My wife must attach the phone for me but then I can carry on a conversation without struggling to hold the phone or have her hold the phone for me. Less than $10 and it actually works, (two in a package makes it about five dollars each.)

Not often do you see as seen on TV products that work but in this case, it does work and handy for weak and useless hands.

My daughter did this for me I have a Nokia phone. If you have someone that is good with the computer they could do it for you my daughter is self taught. At first we use netgear to connect now we have a cable running from main computer to mine and I don't know if Nokia is the only one compatible or not my phone is about five years old Call Dynavox they can tell you. I will ask my daughter if she remembers how she did it if she does I will email you
My Dynavox is a V Max my hands will not move not even a little

I have a headset, and earbuds that fit the cell phone. The problem is when someone calls on one of the phones that are not attached to a headset or earbuds., My wife has to tell them that I will call them back, then use the cell phone with the earbuds and call them back. With this device it will stick to any phone (cell phone or landline) and allow me to talk to them after my wife clips it on my head. That is the advantage of this device. It gives freedom to use whatever phone I wish. Also, the earbuds are a pain in the rear (or should I say "ear").

When my phone rings I ignore it 90% of the time because it's someone tiring to sell me duct cleaning or life insurance... ... (I love call display)
Insurance guys used to drive me nuts telling me no medical questions and you can't be refused.. Pre-exsisting conditions always voids life insurance..

Besides if it's anything Important they will leave a message..
