Jackie, so what did your son show you? Do pass on in case I should need/want to know, and anyone else for that matter.

Hi Carol

My son being here this weekend has helped a bit too.  He
has worked out what VoiceOver does, and shown me a couple
of things that have been helpful. Still not a convert to
the actual phone, but getting there and as determined as
ever.

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.

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).

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.
