I was just hired by WAH for the Citigroup skill. I have not started the training yet. I will probably start either tonight or over the weekend. I am going to wait until i am scheduled to take calls to cancel the caller ID and Call Waiting from my phone. Does anyone know what the best kind of headset is? Can I use a wireless headset or does it have to be wired to the phone. I am thinking of getting another phone because all of the phones that I have right now have a cordless headset and I am not sure if that is going to be a problem. Any information would be great!
Thanks

Hi,
I got mine from Best Buy-it was about $25. I plug it into my cordless phone handset and it works just fine.
Good luck with your training

Plantronics T100 Headset
They sell brand new for $20 at Amazon.com. Plugs in in place of the handset, then you simply use the unconnected handset to hang up the phone. These work best if your phone has a volume control on it so you can turn up or down loud or quite calls.

Hi I have a cheap Phillips headset that I got at Wal-Mart, I think it was less then $20 and it works great. I tried the Plantronics and didn't care for having to use the unused phone handset to answer the calls. The one I have now just plugs into my cordless phone (which is fine w/W*st) and it also has mute and volume control and can be worn on the left or right side of the head. I don't work more then 4 hrs at a time so it works fine for me. Good luck and welcome to W*st.

I bought a Plantronics 645 but I have it plugged into a usb port. Does it have to be plugged into the phone?

Cordless phones are fine. Just make sure you have them fully charged before your shift and a back up in case the handset starts to die!!!
