You place a call by tapping the Voice button. Wait for the Jabra FREEWAY to say “Say a Command”.

Love it! Turns your car into a luxury.,
Customer Video Review Length:: 2:17 Mins
I don’t give 5 stars that often, but I love this thing.
The calls are very clear as advertised and they can hear me fine as well. It’s fantastic being able to finally answer calls hands free in the car; no having to have an earpiece or anything.
I love that you can connect two Bluetooth devices at once; I don’t have a smartphone, but I can connect my basic cellphone with Bluetooth to this device, as well as my iPod Touch to send music to it!
The size makes it great to take it with you anywhere and use it as a speakerphone/speakers at home.
It looks great on the sun visor of the car, as well on a desk.
There is also a built-in FM transmitter. Personally, the transmitter doesn’t seem that much of an advancement to send a clear strong signal than other FM transmitters that I’ve owned (still getting a static or fuzzy sound on a higher volume), but still, it is definitely a nice bonus to have!
The device is also firmware upgradeable if there are any improvements in the future.
It uses a Micro USB to charge.
If you ever feel like using your cellphone in the car, when you think about the safety and traffic ticket costs, this product is a no brainer worthy investment. The versatility of this product being suitable for home use just makes it even better. Fantastic design.
Recommended.

Jabra Freeway is very sleek; VoiceAssist is great!,
The Jabra Freeway is very sleek and comes with a free and optional one-year subscription to VoiceAssist.
Setting the unit up was easy.
1. Before I could use the Jabra Freeway, I charged it for two hours using the supplied USB cable with car charger.
2. Next I made sure the cell phone was Bluetooth-enabled and turned on the Jabra unit.
3. It immediately went into pairing mode. As it is pairing with the phone device, the prompts on the phone needed to be followed and the supplied security code had to be entered (not everyone will have to enter a security code; it depends on the phone)
4. After this I began making and answering calls using voice commands, checking the battery power of the unit, etc. To make a call, I had to press the Voice button to wake up the unit and say “phone commands.” If I was unsure of how to speak to the unit I would say “What can I say?” and it would give me options.
What I found very frustrating was:
1. Once I was done with a call, ending the call is not hands free. I couldn’t say “hang-up, or cancel, or end” because that doesn’t work. Instead I had to press the “answer end button” (which is the “phone icon” on the Jabra device) or end the call via the phone end button.
2. I also disliked having to press the Voice button every time I wanted to make a call because this meant it was not totally hands free. The only hands free part is if someone is calling you, the unit then automatically awakes and you can tell it to “answer” or “ignore” the incoming call.
3. Many times I asked the unit to make a call. Twice it brought up the EZ tip calculator, once it brought up the one-minute beep “application,” and another time it brought up some other application on the phone that I didn’t ask for. Another time I tried to call someone and instead it brought up the address book and rambled off both the mobile and work number without giving me the option to dial either one.
What I really loved was the optional VoiceAssist package even though I had difficulty getting this set up because the code to redeem the free one-year subscription was hidden underneath a sticker either Amazon or the manufacturer put on the box. However, VoiceAssist has the best live customer service around. In fact we called each other almost five times to get this situation resolved in a few hours. Hopefully, new purchasers won’t have this experience where the offer code is hidden between stickers and impossible to read even after being held up to the light.
Below are the steps I took to get VoiceAssist to work:
1. I had to first redeem the free offer code on the box by going to [....].
2. Once signed in online to [....], I imported all my Gmail contacts into the VoiceAssist application and also set up a connection to my review_maven twitter account ([....]).
3. Once registered and after I cleaned up the Gmail import which had about an 85% accuracy rate, I then needed to program the number of 949-257-0923 under the name of VoiceAssist into the Bluetooth phone.
4. After this I had a lot of fun:
- I used the Jabra unit to call VoiceAssist.
- Once connected I used another set of VoiceAssist commands to “call” people in my contact list (they had to have a phone # in the Gmail contact listed that was imported), to “post to Twitter,” to “read my e-mail” on Gmail–which it read very well (except it said it couldn’t read the pictures), and to send an email, which it sent okay though some of my message was garbled. However, since an MP3 was attached to the email, the person receiving it could play that to get the full message.
- The two posts to my Twitter account were okay, buy it got VoiceAssist wrong and typed voices instead and it typed Jabra as Java. You can look on the review_maven account to see the posts for May 28. 2011.
I didn’t have the phone functionality to try the FM Transmitter or play music features of the Jabra device.
Below are some of the key features that I liked and some things I disliked:
PROS:
1. The Jabra unit is pretty easy to set up
2. The Jabra Freeway has a long battery life (about 14 to 17 hours)
3. You can pair two Bluetooth phones to the device with the last phone paired being the primary one
4. Jabra Freeway comes with a car charger for charging in your vehicle or with a 12Volt Battery Pack; the USB cable that is used to plug in the car adapter can be used without the adapter for charging with your PC
5. A free one-year subscription to VoiceAssist is supplied with purchase
6. Voice Assist understands commands better than the Jabra unit itself
7. I could check and send email and post to Twitter with VoiceAssist (Posting to Facebook is also possible.)
8. VoiceAssist provides SUPERB customer service.
CONS:
1…
