    How do you initiate a call using a Bluetooth headset with an Android phone? Or which make and models have this feature?

    My Plantronics Voyager Legend can initiate a phone call Simply by telling it to call a specific person.

    Make sure Google Assistant is enabled to listen from the headset:

    1. Open Google Home
    2. Click on your account symbol (the circle with a person inside)
    3. Click on 'Settings' in the General Settings section
    4. Select 'Assistant' from the tab row
    5. Scroll down to find 'Assistant Devices' and click on your Phone
    6.Click on 'Other hands-free settings
    7. Select how you want Assistant to allow requests with device (your phone) locked

    You just have to say "Ok Google, call..." and the name of the person you want it to dial.

    Some headsets have a physical button that you press instead of it always listening.

    Thank you. I did this last night. Took me a while to figure out.
