It's not _quite_ as bad as chan_oss; you do generally have at least one
button, which is intended to be used for 'redial' and is likely to send
the 'AT+BLDN' command. I usually hack my extensions.conf to direct that
to the place I want to call, before pressing the button on the headset.

The button also allows you to answer calls when the headset is ringing.
Although I haven't tried that with chan_bluetooth recently; I use it
only for outgoing calls. I think it's working though.
