   Thanks Paul for your investigation.  I will print out the CoPilot   
   suggestions and take them with me next time I visit.   
      
   I note   
   " The Samsung A16 is a newer budget model, and some carriers disable   
     **Bluetooth HFP call control** for third‑party devices. In that case:"   
      
   The carrier is Tesco.  Here in the UK Tesco is a large budget   
   supermarket and it would not surprise me that **Bluetooth HFP call   
   control** is disabled.
