I have an LG Muziq for Sprint, which I understand is CDMA. I also understand that CDMA phones are notoriously difficult to use with Freefone, etc.
Having said all that, I did successfully connect the Muziq to my laptop through a bluetooth connection. I could hear the phone call through the laptop's speakers, and the person I called could hear me through the laptop's microphone.
However, the two issues I ran into were getting Freefone to recognize the Muziq, and controlling the Muziq. I installed the Muziq on the laptop as a modem. This enabled me to connect the Muziq to my laptop so I can connect to the internet through the phone, using Sprint's Phone As Modem feature. Doing this created a driver for the phone. Programs such as Hyperterminal could see the phone when it was connected and I could dial out numbers through the phone. Only problem is that the phone must be connected in data mode, which disabled voice calls while in that mode, thereby rendering phone number commands ineffective anyway.
The second problem I had was getting Freefone to recognize the Muziq. I had to manually change the commport Freefone looked at to recognize the Muziq, and even then, it would only recognize the Muziq when the phone was connected to the laptop either through the USB cable or through bluetooth.
Another option for audio is to physically connect an audio cable to the phone's headset jack and use a headphone converter or something to connect that to the computer somehow.
Having said all that, I believe it's possible to connect the Iphone to a computer through bluetooth as a headset/audio profile. If that's done, would it be possible to control the Iphone? I believe that is also possible, since it's a GPRS phone instead of a CDMA phone.
Correct me if I'm wrong though.
