No ringtone or prompt
I just got a Bluetoot compatable cheapie phone ( Samsung A870 ) and got it paired etc and all seems to work well but for the incoming call prompt or ringtone .
When I get a call it does interupt the audio and the (non-navi) display says "Hands Free Link" but in neither the ringtone or the prompt option do I get any form of notification. When I press talk it operates as it should.
Is there something else I should be doing ... I RTFM and followed everything step by step.
Right now the only way I know there is an incoming call is if I notice the audio cancellation or I here the cell phone ring.

Not quite the same .. I just don't get notified with a ringtone or prompt .. but once I press talk to answer it its flawless.

The HFL has a setting where it asks if I want a ringtone or a prompt .. doesn't work either way .
The phone itself rings with an incomming call but I will check more phone settings.

Samsung A870
I bought the Samsung A870 and had little trouble pairing it with my 2005 TL. The phone found the HFL. I knew the phone just had basic capabilities but I am not in my car a lot so I was happy with that. The HFL works just fine with outgoing calls but does not recognize incoming. My cell phone rings and if I try to transfer the call the HFL 
says that there is no incoming call. If I then use my cellphone, the HFL kicks in. Weird,huh? I don't know of any settings that will fix this. I'm on the Telus network in BC, Canada
