I am not sure if I am in the right group but here goes. I regularly use
Voip with a USB headset with my bluetooth enabled laptop (Windows XP).
It should be possible to use a bluetooth enable mobile phone instead of
a USB headset. Does any one know how to do it?

I'm not sure if it should be possible.

Bluetooth is (to my little knowledge) divided in a number of "services".
Making a Bluetooth connection between two devices is limited to the services
that the one device can offer and the other can accept.

My mobile phone can use a Bluetooth headset, but it can't act as one.

I disagree with your premise- why should it be possible? Your mobile and
your PC have the profiles to USE a USB headset, not necessarily to become
one.

When I search my phone for BT profiles it offers file transfer (OBEX,
FTP, etc.), DUN (dial-up networking) and serial connections but no "use
me as a headset" option.

I don't think it's possible.

Regrettably this all seems to confirm my experiments. I wonder whether
a bluetoth headset might do the job?
