I find that when using this device, the mobile phone itself uses more power than normal, this is because it has to be connected by bluetooth to the Jabra all the time.
I have never yet lost the signal, in fact I have had no trouble with this brilliant little gadget at all .
I confess I had to resort to going to my local Orange shop, and admitting I was an absolute technophobe, I asked them to "configure" my Jabra for me, which they immediately did without any hassle. something I could have done myself of course, given a year or two!

For anyone who makes a lot of calls Skype is a wonderful things assuming the person they are calling is also on Skype.
