Thanks, Jackie for the warning. I'll listen to what you say and ask you again in a month or two. I know others who are very happy now but it took a little while.


Please keep us all updated of your findings.

Carol, stick with your iPod Touch for now my girl!
(smile).  It's not as easy as it sounds, and I keep
cheating with the keyboard which isn't really helping me
in the long run.

I like it, and I'm determined to persevere, but it's very
different from Nokia handsets, and there are one or two
things that irritate me.  Firstly, if you are speaking to
someone on the phone and a text message comes in, you get
your jingle, then VoiceOver reading out the message.  Now
if someone is having a conversation with you, they can't
hear that, but you can, and it's bloody annoying.

It also tends to jump into speaker or hands free mode
during my conversations, and I'm not sure why it does
that.

I'm sure I'll get to like it, but I'm not a wild convert
at the moment, though think it was the right thing to do
regarding O2.

Jackie,

I didn't see your question about voice mail, but if you
need to switch on and off in O2, 1750 switches on and
1760 switches off, I think.

I haven't used them myself for ages but did write them
down so give them a try.

Thanks Ed.  Now we all know how to answer Jackie's calls
and I'm getting more keen as I realise I could probably
manage the phone too if I wanted.

Hi Jackie,

Apologies if someone has answered your questions
already, but I haven't seen a reply.

To delete a contact, open it, and double tap on edit.
Then flick with three fingers to the right.  Your iPhone
should say something like "rows 3 to 8 of 8".  The
delete contact option should have appeared after "add
field".
If for some reason flicking with three fingers to the
right doesn't work initially, flick with one finger
until you're a little further down the list of fields
already visible.

You'll see that you already have some options to delete
different numbers without doing the 3-fingered flick,
but this will leave you with a blank contact unless you
use the delete contact option.

There are a couple of ways to answer calls.  You can
either do a 2-fingered double tap which is the quickest
if you are comfortable with the gesture. If not though,
then you can use the standard flick right or left with
one finger gestures to navigate the screen.  You will
see a "slide to answer" option.  Double tapping on this
(with one finger) will also answer the call. This sounds
longer but, as I say, you may find you're able to
accomplish it quickly enough if the 2-fingered double
tap is giving you problems.

I'm afraid I don't know how to turn the voicemail off on
o2.  Could it be somewhere in the message settings when
you ring the 901 number? Alternatively, are you able to
change either there or on the phone itself how long it
takes for the voicemail to kick in? You could always
lengthen this interval if so.

Hope this helps.

Ed

Well, all the contacts are in now, but I have a few
questions please?

1.  How do I remove an unwanted contact?

2.  What does one do to delete read or unwanted messages
to be discarded?

3.  I'm still having finger gesture problems, so don't
always manage to answer the phone until Voicemail kicks
in.  As I'm on O2, what is the number to turn Voicemail
off.  I know it is 901 to dial it.

Getting there, but finding it a bit frustrating at times.
For example, I don't like the way a text message alert
will sound when you are talking to someone on the phone,
and VoiceOver reads out the text message you have just
received.  Is there a way of stopping it?

Thanks for your help as ever.

Kind Regards,
