Can my Mac act as a Bluetooth headset?

I would like to pair my iPhone to my Mac, so I can answer phone calls from my Mac without picking up the phone. Is that possible?


I have tried the pairing, but iPhone refuses to recognize MacBook Pro has a valid Bluetooth device.

MacBook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

The App Store reviews are all for older versions, and the iPhone 4 failure reports were from just two people. A third person reported no problems with using it with an iPhone 4. There were some audio problems in earlier versions that could make it look like it just didn't work. I exchanged some e-mails with the developer several weeks ago about intermittent audio, and he was very responsive. 1.2.20 doesn't appear to have any problems.


It works perfectly with my 3G, but I don't have an iPhone 4, so I can't tell you for certain that it works. But, if you go directly to the developer's web site that I linked earlier, you can download the application and try it free for 21 days. Then you can see for yourself if it works for your needs, rather than relying on just the App Store reviews.

Mmm, I'm trying to get Phone Amego working but I'm unable to pair my iPhone 3GS with my MBP. It goes through the pairing fine but then when I select the MBP from the Bluetooth list on my iPhone it says "Connection Unsuccessful "MBP_Name" is not supported." The only option then is 'Forget Device'.


I don't want to share files or tether my iPhone via Bluetooth, just pair it so I can use Phone Amego.


Any ideas?
