I got an Iphone headset which has four contacs on a phone plug.
But the phone uses a normal 3-contact universal handsfree.

I have bought numerous adaptors but they don't seem to work.
I can hear the phone, but I can't be heard.

I am now tempted to make the adaptors myself. How do you spec them?
Would places like Mouser have them or are they still too new?

Slightly wrong. A 3 contact 3.5mm plug can be used for earphones
only, but if you want a microphone, you'll need the 4th connection
(nearest the plug).

How about buying a headset that fits instead of spending money on
numerous adaptors?

What color is your phone? How heavy is it? Does the IMEI end with a C or
a Z?

Have you considered getting a new phone? I was trying to make a four-pin
handset work on a three-pin cell phone around the time I decided to switch to
another provider. The phone that came with the change had a four-pin jack, and
everything worked fine.
