A hands-free device (2) for a communications device (4, 6) is disclosed. A method of authenticating a hands-free device (2) with a system (10) is described. The method comprises a hands-free device (2) having an identifier associated therewith, establishing a connection between the hands-free device (2) and a system (10) via at least one communications device (4, 6), and providing the identifier from the hands-free device (2) to the system (10), thereby attempting authentication of the hands -free device (2) with the system (10). Preferably the identifier is provided to the system (10) automatically, preferably either after a time delay or in response to a command, request or the like. The hands-free device (2) and the system (10) preferably interact using voice commands and there is preferably further provided a voice portal (8) for enabling the interactions.
