How to Bluetooth Sync Your Mobile with a Yealink T57W

Bluetooth pairing your mobile phone with a Yealink T57W lets you take cellular calls through the desk phone’s handset and speakerphone, and sync your mobile contact list onto the desk phone for one-tap dialling. This guide walks you through pairing your phone, syncing contacts, and enabling permanent contact sync on iPhone.

Step 1: Open the Bluetooth Menu on the Yealink T57W

On the idle screen of the Yealink T57W, tap Menu.

Select Basic.

Select Bluetooth from the left-hand menu.

Step 2: Turn Bluetooth On

Tap the ON radio button to enable Bluetooth on the desk phone.

Step 3: Pair Your Mobile Phone

1. On your mobile phone, open the Bluetooth settings and make sure Bluetooth is on.
2. On the Yealink T57W, tap Scan to look for nearby Bluetooth devices.

3. Pick your mobile phone from the list of discovered devices.
4. Confirm the pairing on both the Yealink and your mobile — tap OK on the desk phone and accept the pairing prompt on your phone.
5. When the Yealink asks if you want to sync your contacts temporarily, choose Yes. On your mobile, tap Allow to grant access to contacts.

Step 4 (iPhone Only): Enable Permanent Contact Sync

If you are pairing an iPhone, you need an extra step to keep contacts synced after the initial pairing.

1. On the iPhone, open Settings > Bluetooth.
2. Find Yealink T57W in the list of paired devices and tap the i (info) icon next to it.

3. Turn on Sync Contacts.

Your iPhone contacts will now stay in sync with the Yealink T57W contact list, even after future reconnections.

Yealink T57W Bluetooth FAQ

What does Bluetooth pairing actually let me do?

Once paired, you can take and place cellular calls through the Yealink’s handset, headset, or speakerphone. You can also browse your mobile’s contact list directly on the Yealink screen, which makes one-tap dialling much easier than typing numbers.

Why do my contacts disappear from the Yealink after I unplug my phone?

By default, the Yealink syncs contacts only while a Bluetooth connection is active. On iPhone, enable Sync Contacts in the device’s Bluetooth info screen so the sync persists across disconnects.

Can I pair more than one mobile phone at the same time?

The Yealink T57W can remember several paired devices, but it only connects to one of them at a time. Switch the active device by selecting it from the paired devices list on the Yealink Bluetooth menu.

The Yealink does not see my phone in the scan results — what do I do?

Make sure your mobile is set to be discoverable in its Bluetooth menu — some phones only advertise while you are looking at the Bluetooth screen. Move the phone closer to the Yealink and tap Scan again. If the device still does not appear, restart Bluetooth on both devices and retry.
