The physical lifters are a limitation of the Cisco IP phones, not the headsets. If you have newer phones (79x5) with electronic hookswitch control you don't need a mechanical lifter, it can be done electronically.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Hey all,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">So we’re
looking for some nice wireless headsets that have functionality to pick up the
call from the headset (via a button on the earpiece). Has anyone seen one
of these work?</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We tried
some VXI headsets that they claimed would work if we had “auto-answer” as an
option on the phone (which call manager does). But it just auto answers,
they don’t have a choice to ignore the call.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Anyone have
anything else they’ve used that works?</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
