Does anyone have this or know if it works? I am sick of people complaining they can't hear me when I am on my phone (its no the phone I have had a few diff ones)

Thoughts?

Who makes it and where did you purchase it?
After installing about a mile of foam weather stripping between the top and windshield and still have wind noise I need
to try something different.

Thanks in advance.

You are right. But some support jobs (like computers) require taking phone calls anytime, often people do not know I am not at work. I would never text though (can't hardly type on the thing while not driving), and I pull off the road or keep the call short if in town or on highway. Usually just tell them I will call them back.

At 60 or below, if only the freedom tops are off, people seem to hear my Blackberry okay (they might say "whats that noise?"). Although I rarely call out while driving, I can even place a call using the voice function (I dont like to dial while driving) if I have to.

Let us know how that gizmo works out for you OP.

Be safe.

Buy a good blutooth headset with wind noise reduction. Keeps the hands free, is less of a distraction, and makes you look important. I have a fairly good one from Best Buy and my wife can hear me just fine with the top down and the doors off on the freeway.

I am not on the phone all that much driving but when I do get on it I want to be able to use it.
I often drive to my dads (lives about 3 hours away) and also work on computers on the side so will take a call here and there on the way into work to help someone out.

I have tried most of the high end ones that Verizon Wireless sells (I work there) and people still complain. I am gonna just set it on there at first not sure I am gonna like the looks of it.
