Do all phones have Bluetooth capabilities?

No, not all cell phones have Bluetooth technology. The lower priced models may not have Bluetooth as an offered feature. The higher end models do include Bluetooth technology but in order to be sure you must ask your wireless cell phone provider for information.

Can someone pick up my conversation on a scanner or other device while I am using my Bluetooth?

Yes, technically someone can listen in on your conversation if it is transmitted using radio waves. But that problem is not reserved solely for hands-free cell phone users. That is not the biggest worry though. Your immediate concern should be for the security of your cell phone with the information you send.

Cell phones can be hacked and personal information stolen but there are ways to prevent this. The first step involves knowing what level of security you have. The second is the most important: do not use a four digit PIN. Security advisors say that an eight digit PIN can decrease your chances of being “hacked” considerably.

What is Enhanced Data Rate?

Bluetooth has seen many changes since it first debuted in 1998. The technology world has evolved and so too has Bluetooth. Everyone wants to be able to send data faster. It does not matter if it is on a cell phone or a computer. Faster is better. Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR allow users to utilize more than one device, faster, all at one time.
