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

Subject: [access-uk] New iPhone questions, please?

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,

Jackie Cairns
