Beginner here.


Goal: I want to have a mobile phone with a nonstandard input and form factor. Since a cell module would require an additional expensive plan I'll settle for controlling a mobile phone remotely.


Got a generic Samsung flipphone with bluetooth. I figure maybe the easiest way to do this is through a bluetooth audio module.

I found this one and the breakout board

and this far less expensive and less documented one

I would like to do 4 things with it.


1. connect it to speakers and a mic (ie bluetooth headset)


2. connect an input device (dial) to it where it would send numbers that the bluetooth sends to a paired phone. Voice dial is standard on bluetooth sets so I figure this could be possible too



3. activate some event (bell) when a call is received

4. somehow pick up and end calls remotely.


The first I think is fairly straightforward. Simply connect wires to the Speaker and Mic pins right?


The rest I'm not so sure about. I think they all are possible but I don't know how. Perhaps with an arduino or something like that? Anybody have an idea if it is possible to do all these things preferably with the less expensive board?

You are going to need to write an App for the phone that receives data over bluetooth and then does what you want, so what sort of phone is your Samsung? e.g. Is it running Android?

its not a smartphone its a plain old samsung flip with bluetooth. I'm not too familiar with headsets but I was under the impression that they do voice dial so shouldn't it be possible to input the numbers that the bluetooth sends some other way besides your voice?
