I have CP and in a wheelchair. I have limited use of my hands. Is there a way to setup my Incite to auto answer after a few seconds when using my bluetooth? I am unable to reach up and push the answer button on the bluetooth.

Thanks

Neil: Hello frank. Welcome to LG Electronics! How may I provide you with excellent service today?
frank: hi, i just bought an lg incite from att
frank: and want my phone to auto answer when the headset/bluetooth is active
Neil: I would like to please place you on a brief hold while I research that for you, will that be alright?
frank: ok
frank: I am in a wheelchair. I have limited use of my hands. Is there a way to setup my Incite to auto answer after a few seconds when using my bluetooth or wired stereo headset? I am unable to reach up and push the answer button on the bluetooth.
Neil: I am currently checking on the availability of such a feature.
Neil: Thank you for your patience while I researched that for you.
frank: ok

Neil: I have searched through several different possibilities, including the Bluetooth functions and even the Voice Commands. Regrettably, this possibility of automatically answering the phone is not an available option.

frank: that's not good :-(
frank: can a software patch fix it
Neil: We do not have any software available to add such a feature. You can check with the wireless service provider, to see if they have any software, but we do not have any available. I do apologize for the inconvenience of the matter.
frank: i will have to return the phone then, that's ashame
Neil: I apologize that this phone does not perform the tasks that was assumed.

Thanks for the help. I have also done some research, and the only way to get any type of auto answer with the Incite, (which isn't really auto answer) is to use a bluetooth with auto answer built into it. The best bet that I found is the Blueant Q1 or the V1 with voice control. I can say the word "answer" when a call comes in, I am not sure if this bluetooth headset is compatible with the Incite, but it's worth a try. I found it for $79.00 on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-V1-Bluetooth-Headset-Silver/dp/B001APH9GW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1218051432&sr=8-1

BlueAnt V1 Voice-Controlled Bluetooth Headset (Silver)

List Price: $129.99
Price: $74.97 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping. Details
You Save: $55.02 (42%)

A member of an different LG forum (don't know if it's alright to redirect to a different Incite forum) has found the answer to the Incite Auto Answer problem, and I don't have to buy an special headset.

Auto Answer is built into the Incite, but it takes a special code to get to it.

Go to the phone's keypad and type 5476278#*# When the menu comes up, scroll down to call test, select it, the auto answer option will appear, then select auto answer (on). Then select (ok) Click on the (x) to exit out.

You can't choose the number of seconds before the phone auto answers but it works. To turn off auto answer, just follow the same procedure and choose off.

Thanks to xhozt over at the other LG forum to find the answer.
