Bluetooth headsets with Multipoint can be paired to two cell phones at once.
Most simple Bluetooth devices, like keyboards, mice, and headsets, can only be "paired" to one other Bluetooth device at a time. Pairing them to a second device erases the connection profile of the first, and requiring the user to go through the pairing process every time he wishes to use the Bluetooth device with different computers or cell phones. Multipoint technology allows a Bluetooth device to retain more than one Bluetooth connection profile at once, allowing users to switch the connection to other devices on the fly. Unfortunately, there is no way to upgrade an existing Bluetooth device with "Multipoint." it's either included in the device at manufacture, or forever unavailable.
Instructions
1. Pair the Multipoint device with a computer, cell phone, or other device. If you are pairing it with a cell phone, consult the owner's manual for the pairing procedure. If you are pairing it with a Windows computer, place the device in "discovery" mode, then click the "Add a device" button in the "Devices and Printers" control panel. Enter the device's security pass key when prompted.
2. Pair the Multipoint device with another Bluetooth device, following the procedure detailed in the device's owner's manual.
3. Reconnect the Multipoint device to the first device you paired it to. This process differs between different mobile devices, but an easy way to to this in Windows is to simply right-click on the device in the "Devices and Printers" window and select "Properties," causing the computer to request information from the Multipoint device.
