Abstract: A device for allowing a user to pick up a telephone handset without using his or her hands is disclosed. The device includes a control unit having a control circuit arranged inside a casing. The control circuit is connected between a telephone and a handset of the telephone. A first activation key is provided on the control unit for allowing signal received by the telephone to be passed to the handset so as to allow the user to answer a phone call by hand picking up the handset. The control unit has a signal receiving/transmitting device which is coupled, via electromagnetic waves, to a counterpart receiving/transmitting device arranged in a headset. A second activation key is formed on the headset whereby the user may actuate the second activation key for allowing signals received by the telephone to be passed to the headset.
