Yes, I'm determined now to master it, having got going with the Ipod.

I agree, you don't want to rely solely on the keyboard.

Hi Barry

Yes, I'm trying hard to use the screen with my fingers as
it's more realistic than having to get the keyboard out
every time.  It's a life-saver for certain things, but
I'm determined to master it, and would encourage anyone
else to do likewise.

Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie,

I'd say it took at least 2 weeks of using the on-screen
keyboard before I started to feel reasonably comfortable.
Allot of frustration!  I've now got the Wireless keyboard
and of course it's wonderful.  I'm very glad though that
I spent several months with the on-screen keyboard and
controls though first!
Barry.

Hi Ed

Getting there, painfully slowly.  I dread the phone
ringing or a text coming in, but I'm beginning to get
round it without the keyboard and using my fingers.  I
guess everyone has gone through this to get to where
they are in using an iPhone competently.  I've got my
son coming over tonight for a long weekend, and I'm
going to get him to turn VoiceOver on on his iPhone,
then we can have a proper dual!! (smile).

Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie,

Sticking 2 fingers up will continuously read a book to
you in iBooks. Actually it won't, but flicking upwards
with 2 fingers will and I couldn't
resist the joke.

Thanks Ed, very helpful and stuff worth saving for
future reference. I'm
kind of getting there, but it's rather a case of
sticking two fingers up at
the moment than gesturing with the phone itself.  I've
been practising the
gestures within VoiceOver, and they seem to work, but
what a faff to answer
a call or delete something.  And as for forwarding a
joke, well let's just
say my friends will have to wait a bit longer for them!!
(smile).

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.
