hands-free calling

Talk while driving

Hands-free calling is making or receiving phone calls without holding a device, typically through Bluetooth headsets, car audio systems, or speakerphones.

The term emerged with laws restricting handheld phone use while driving: My car has hands-free calling built in.

Voice commands often initiate calls: Call Mom.
