radicalrom Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 First, my wife bought a Ford Edge 2 Months ago and she finds my bluetooth enabled phone for her car useful. She has a pre-paid plan through T-mobile and she has had the same phone for about 8 years now (she use to have a contract through t-mobile). Anyways, I thought for her birthday I would get her a cheap bluetooth phone. She does NOT text, take pictures, email, browse the web, etc. and she strictly makes calls. I went to bestbuy, and found a $49 T-mobile phone that said bluetooth enabled, but the bestbuy person said "but that will not work with Ford Sync". I searched the web and found the list of certified phones, but I know there has to be more phones that would work. Not knowing phones or bluetooth, my question is: Do you know of a cheap bluetooth phone that would work on sync? Also, is it a version of bluetooth that I need? I ask this because I would assume at a certain level, all bluetooth phones should work, right? Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older w510i and w810i are the most comparable. :yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicalrom Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) Sony Ericsson phones work really good. The older w510i and w810i are the most comparable. :yup: Thank you. I will search for these. Is this easy to find locally (bestbuy, target, etc.?). Also does the bluetooth mean anything to make sure it is compatible?

radicalrom Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 The problem is I can not find that phone locally. Her birthday is next week, so I need to find it locally. What I did today was searched all the local stores (t-mobile, bestbuy, walmart, kmart, target, radioshack) and I tried to find bluetooth either T-mobile or unlocked phones less than $70. This is what I came up with. Do you know if anyone of these will work with Sync? Also I go back to is there anything I can look for in the specifications that would tell me it would work or not with Sync? Is it the bluetooth version?

rwbronco Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I'd be willing to bet that the Motorola V3 would work with Sync. It's been a while since I've had a Razor though but I'm pretty sure people have used them with it. It's a popular phone and I'd be surprised if it couldn't make calls through sync.
