A method for initiating a-mobile phone call comprising:
- receiving a user selection of a desired application item at a computing device;
- transmitting a dial number associated with the desired application item from the computing device to a wireless headset utilizing a first wireless link;
- and
- receiving the dial number at the wireless headset and responsively initiating a call comprising transmitting the dial number from the wireless headset to a mobile phone device utilizing a second wireless link.
A method for initiating a mobile phone call utilizing a wireless headset comprising:
- receiving a dial number at a wireless headset from a computing device transmitted over a first wireless link, the dial number transmitted from the computing device responsive to a user action at the computing device;
- and
- transmitting an outbound call command to a mobile phone device from the wireless headset over a second wireless link, the outbound call command comprising the dial number and configured to initiate a call by the mobile phone device to the dial number.
