Driving and talking on a cell phone can be dangerous (and often illegal). Using a Bluetooth headset while driving is one way to go. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows different electronics to work together.

Step 1

Identify if your cell phone has Bluetooth technology; you can check the manual or the phone's settings. If it does, you can use a Bluetooth headset. If it doesn't, you will have to use a wired headset or buy a Bluetooth adapter.

Step 2

Although you can buy Bluetooth headsets online, go to an electronics store to find one that's most comfortable. If you wear glasses, try on the headset with and without your glasses.

Step 3

Once you find one that's comfortable, try using the different controls. Some come with one-touch answer and end-call functions--this is particularly helpful when you're driving. The fewer buttons you have to press, the less distracted you will be. Other features to consider are on/off, battery length and volume control.

Step 4

Finally, make sure the headset you have chosen is compatible with your cell phone. Most Bluetooth headsets are backward-compatible, which mean they will work with any cell phone that has Bluetooth. If you're not sure, ask a sales associate at the store.
