Adrian,

You will find some of the gestures for practice in the Settings section.

You go to
settings, general, accessability. Double tap on each of these. then, double tap 
Voiceover and it will say "Voiceover on". now flick right with one finger and 
listen to what it tells you so you start to learn these. double tap the 
VoiceOver practice button. When you've had enough, press the Done button at the 
top right of the screen. None of these gestures will happen as it's only a 
practice area.

Hope this may help.

When you get your phone, the first thing you do is to tripple tap the home 
button which is at the bottom of the screen and is round. This switches 
VoiceOver on and you can start to put in the information. You will need to be 
able to put in things like your email details and this is a bit daunting when 
you're not used to writing on the IPhone. If you don't feel able to do this, 
either get a friend/family to help or go to a phone shop where hopefully you'll 
get the help you need to get going. In any case, you'll need a sim and to 
insert it before you can complete the Setup process.

Don't worry if you can't finish it in one go or you go wrong. It won't be 
disaster!

Write me off list if I can help further.

Carol P
