I forgot how to get my Jabra tell me from my contacts names instead of the phone just ringing in my ear.

check in phone settings to ensure ring is set to headphone, I think a lot of phones now can cut this off so you don't suddenly get a loud tone in your ear but speak will work.

what i gather from what you have said is that the headset doesn't ring at all. this would indicate to me that the headset is not paired with the base.
normally when pairing devices the base station will look for the device but at the same time you will have to hold the headset power button for at least 5 seconds for that the other device can capture the signal.
i will look into this for you but try this method if applicable but the bluetooth devices do have to be paired in order to work.

Try a search on ebay.com too.

Good Luck!!!

I had the same problem with my GN9125 headset and GN1000 remote answerer (lifter arm). There is a knob at the top end of the lifter arm contraption that adjusts "Ring Sensor Sensitivity" (yeah, NOT a very intuitive phrase!) - You have to twist the knob in the direction of the arrow to "increase the sensitivity". Twist it slowly while the phone is ringing and eventually you'll start hearing the ring in the headset. You can see diagrams in the GN1000 manual, which you can find online by googling.
