The device may switch profiles, for example, when the headset is plugged in, when the device is connected to a car kit, or when the user is in a meeting previously marked in the calendar as "busy."
Additional features of Phone Suite, according to Spb, include:
- Audible notification for missed calls or unread SMS messages
- Reject a call with a predefined SMS message
- Call filtering based on "black" and "white" lists; blacklisted callers are automatically rejected
