    Take it to a Batteries Plus store. They can put a new battery in it and guarantee it for a year.

    How many do you want? I have any shape and style you want! I buy them at estate sales and sell'em on eBay! Good retirement activity and "Mad Money".!

    My new favorite Blue Parrot is the Reveal. http://vxicorp.com/products/blueparrott-bluetooth-mobile-solutions/reveal/

    It's small and light weight. Battery lasts all day (better than my Bose). It also fits nicely into my pocket when I don't want it on while out of the truck.

    I still have my original Blue Parrot but the main control button has become hyper sensitive and activates when I don't want it to.

    I've had both Blue Parrot and Blue Tiger. The Blue Parrot slid off my head all the time because of its slick plastic earpiece.

    It lasted about a year, then I tried Blue Tiger, and got 2 warranty replacements within 2 months. I refused to pay for $40 for the third replacement when none had lasted 1 month.

    I then got Plantronics Voyager Pro. It lasted about 1 1/2 years, so I tried to get a Bose. They are specific ear, and the store didn't carry left ear, so I got another Pro, which lasted another1 1/2 years.

    I then got the Voyager Edge, but like the other Plantronics, it had no range, and I broke it when I took it out of my ear and slammed on the table after it disconnected or reconnected to the phone that was charging in the other room.
    I replaced with the 5200, a new one that is supposed to have 99' range. It doesn't, and I hate it.

    Payphones are going through a further pullback, some of the truck stops and rest areas have the place for them, but no phone, not completely gone but not assured of finding one at a given location.

    Some places have network troubles and cellphones just don't do well, hence texting.

    Trouble lines need to adapt to this. Also might mean hoofing it uphill if you are in a bad spot and can't move truck to a better one.

    Like CDMA from anywhere in Petrolia, PA.

    I've owned the Blue Tiger elite for about two years now. It's very comfortable to wear for long periods.
