They work great.
Indeed. The other solutions work great for a single user on a cellular phone, but I prefer a plain old wired telephone with a handset for the emergency phone at a data center. It's usable by anyone. Ever try handing your bluetooth headset with custom earmold to the electrician working on the UPS?
Data centers tend to be noisy in more than just the acoustic spectrum, mobile reception often isn't the greatest.
