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 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.

3 out of 5 stars Nice phone with some issues   November 14, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have used this phone for over two months now. I use this in my home office. Frankly, for the price, I was expecting more; the syncing with Outlook is limited, and accessing the number in the phone books is time consuming,as you can only start with the first letter, it won't allow you to type in the first couple of letters, getting you directly to who you are looking for. Better software should have been included for this price.

The buttons, while of good quality, are VERY SMALL. So if you do a lot of dialing, I would not recommend this phone. Again, I guess no one did any customer research at Plantronics.

On the plus side, the range for the phone is great, and the sound quality & comfort of the earpiece is good.



5 out of 5 stars Range and flexibility   November 13, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This phone solves all of my problems. The biggest issue I had with all other cordless phones was range. I could never seem to get coverage over my entire house. I have my office upstairs, and a lab in the basement and I could never seem to walk back and forth between the two. This phone works well over every square inch of my house and even out a ways into the yard.

My second problem was talking "hands free". I like to type or clean or walk around while I'm on the phone. Most speaker phones at this price point have horrible echoes, and most head sets don't work all that well - I was always getting tangled in wires.

So now I can walk around the house and answer my cell phone and office phone with one headset. I'm hands free, and no one complains about echoes or volume.

One other feature of this phone that has also proven to be a great asset is that fact that I can integrate with Skype. I use Skype to call internationally and now I don't have to sit in front of the computer anymore. This software was simple to setup, and it works great.

I've had this phone for about 3 months now, and for the price I don't think you can get a better more flexible SoHo solution.



5 out of 5 stars I found my phone   November 2, 2008
Can't say enough about this phone, can talk and work from a good distant away from base.


2 out of 5 stars Problems with keypad   October 22, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I work from home and I'm on it pretty much all day. The one think I can not stand with this is phone is that it does not work with some of my customers phone conferencing systems. I'll the dial the number, when I enter the conference passcode it always comes up as invalid or incomplete. The reason why is the key tone is so incredibly short the conferencing system on the other end does not always pick up the complete pass code. It is extremely frustrating! I have a 20% success rate for it to work.

I checked all the settings on the phone and there is no way to extend the tone so I'm pretty much out of luck. I missed a few important conference calls because of this. Some times I start dialing in 5-10 minutes before hoping I'll get lucky. Now I just jump on my cell or us Skype for the conferencing.

It just seems like such simple functionality they could have built into the phone and they did not.



5 out of 5 stars Best phone ever!   October 22, 2008
Almost everything about this phone is great. The numbers on the dial pad are a bit small, but still functional. Headset works great, ability to link to other Bluetooth devices a plus.
