Bluetooth Annoyance

I have two phones that I use. They both have bluetooth. I have one bluetooth headset. I wish I could pair my bt headset with both phones at the same time, but I haven't been able to do it.

I get a lot of calls on both phones and in one day I pair more than 10 times from one phone to the other.

If you paired your phone to say your computer it would work as so

Computer = Master
Phone = Slave

So on and so forth which ever device is paired off the most is the master.

that would be the simple answer. Wear one on each ear and look SUPER cool 😁

You have the time to go through the pairing process while your phone is ringing? Seems like that would take longer then I would want to make the person wait.
