We are happy to have you here! To ensure these forums are a helpful, safe resource for everyone, please take a look at the following guidelines before posting:

1. Search before you post. If you are looking for an answer to a specific question, there's a good chance that it has already been posted. First try a search using likely keywords. If it looks like the question hasn't already been discussed, then go ahead and post away.

2. Be specific. Including detailed information in your post will help other users understand your issue. For example, specify if you have the New or the Original Jawbone, and if you are having issues with call quality or pairing, please include the specifics of the phone you are using

 
3. Be respectful. Please ensure that all of your posts contribute to the supportive, constructive atmosphere of the board. Disrespecting or disparaging any company or any individual is not allowed and will not be tolerated.  Specific unacceptable behavior includes:
