One of the main problems with using Dect wireless headsets like the Plantronics C65 with cordless phones is there isn't a keypad on the headset to make a call. The only way of making a call on a Plantronics C65 with most cordless Dect telephones is by using the handset, and then transferring the call to the headset. The problem with this is that it is often time consuming and actually quiet difficult to perform.
With the Siemens Gigaset C240 it has a facility that allows other handsets to listen to a call taking place. When activated the Gigaset C240 then allows cordless headsets like the Plantronics C65 to jump onto a call, and take over the call by hanging up the handset. This means that making calls out with the Plantronics C65 headset is much easier and quicker.
