Thank you Joan Ann, I know something like that but I am sure there is an actual
setting where one does not have to keep doing this each time one dials a number.

Hi Eleanor
If you want to withhold your number, you place the following in front of the
number you want to dial, hash 3 1 hash. Your number then shows up as private
on the other person's phone.

Hi Eleanor
If someone calls and you press the call key, the person is put on hold.
As far as I am aware, there isn't a redial button, just this automatic
function which, I don't use myself.

If someone calls and I hear a beep and use the call key will I not cut
the person off? Will they just go on to hold?
What I want is the way with a land line if a number is engaged one can
just press a redial button rather than the automatic function as it could
re-dial 10 times in 10 seconds.

Hi Eleanor
I think the way the redial function works is that, if you call a
number and it is engaged, the phone will redial the number after a few seconds.
It makes 10 attempts to call the number.
I think you are refering to the call waiting function. It will beep
if someone else is calling you and you can use the call key to answer the
second call if you want to.

I have changed this Joan Ann now is it that if I want to re-dial I
just press the call button again? I also changed a setting, I think to give me
an alert if someone else is calling. Would that be correct?

Hi Eleanor
If you want the phone to automatically re-dial a number, there is
an option for this under settings, phone and call. This could be slightly
different for your phone model.

Thank you very much Joan Ann I thought that but just wanted you
to confirm which folder. Now I am well on the way. What about re-dialling a
number, I am stuck on that one.

Hi Eleanor
I'm delighted that you succeeded in your task, sorry my way
didn't work for you. If you can remember how you transferred the ring tone,
the same principle applies for the pictures except that they go into the images
folder.
Joan Ann.

Joan Ann
first of all I am very stupid. Secondly thank you I have
succeeded in the task. Finally I regret to say not through the route you told
me. I followed you to the letter as you know and I could not find them. The
strangest thing ever is that when I tried again I could not reproduce your
route. My phone said Data Transfer On so I selected that. It then went on
about something in Memory that could not be stored so I accepted that too.
Then I found some folders and one of them was Digital. I went in to that and
identified some current ring tones and pasted mine in. The first time I tried
and pulled out the plug so to speak, I got a warning that my data had not been
saved as I did not do this correctly. I was disgusted. Then I am a great one
for perseverance so had to go through the wretched thing again. Worse still I
had turned off the computer. I thought next time I will reproduce your route
but again this did not happen. I went in to digital folder in any case and
pasted by files. When I looked for them in Profile I just could not believe
it, there they were and what's more to prove it to myself I was able to change
the ring tone to the one of my choice, Soldier's Song. Then I tested it and it
was simply brilliant. Sorry Joe Ann that I was unable to reproduce your route
but I managed anyway. You gave me the confidence to give it a go. I am so
delighted with this Talks and the phone. Up to this I've had a mobile for
about 7 years and all I could do was make a call. Now I am doing so much with
this one in a few days. I need to get on to learning how to text now and I am
then well away. I will do that next week as I have study I need to get back to
instead of playing with my new phone but once my assignment goes in and while I
am waiting to start training with my new dog, I will consolidate the text
messaging.
Thank you once again. If you know how I transfer pictures
too I would appreciate learning that Joe Ann. I would want to transfer them in
both directions. It would be easy to work out once I know how to transfer to
the phone then I would do the same in reverse so to speak.
Now I want to know how do I stop the phone telling me the
date each time I unlock the keypad?

Hi Eleanor
My digital folder was empty too until I put ring tones
into it and, now, when I go to profiles and go to select a tone to use, they
show up for me.
They should show up as the names they were originally
called on your computer.
What kind of files are they?
Joan Ann.

Joan Ann I followed exactly what you told me to do but
I cannot find my ring tone and message alert on profiles. Maybe I am not
looking in the right place. I definitely copied my files to the Digital folder
but I was a little worried at the time as there did not seem to be anything
else in that folder. Should I have identified them by name or what?

Sound Files from PC
Hi Eleanor
This may sound a little complicated but, I will try
my best to explain this procedure to you.
I am using the e51 with talks but, I'm pretty sure
the procedure for the n95 is similar.
Firstly, you need to install a program called Nokia
PC suite on to your computer. The version I am using is 6.82.22.0. There is a
later version available but, I find this version quite accessible with jaws.
The installation is straight forward.
The next step is to attach your phone to the computer
using the USB cable. PC suite will start installing the driver for your phone.
This could take up to 5 minutes so, it is best to just let the computer work
away on its own.
When this has finished, you should launch PC suite
from the desktop.
Now, as I am using jaws, I press insert and page down
and it tells me that "nokia e51 connected via USB". I think this message is
located towards the bottom of the screen.
Now, given that you are successful in connecting your
phone, you do the following:
1. Find the ring tone and message alert that you
want to use and copy them to the clipboard.
2. Go to windows explorer and under the list of
drives, you should see one that says nokia n95 and select this.
3. Here, I get a list of 2 folders, phone memory and
memory card.
4. Choose phone memory.
5. You now have a folder called Data so select this.
6. In this list of folders, there is one called
sounds so, select this.
7. In this folder, choose "digital". We will paste
the files into this folder. You can now disconnect the phone.
Now when you go to profiles on your phone, the ring
tone and message alert should be available for you to use.
I'm sorry this is so long and I really hope it makes
sense. Feel free to ask questions.
Joan Ann.

Hi All
Does anyone know how I can transfer two files (ring
tone and message alert) from my PC to Mobile. I will do this using a USB cable
and have installed the necessary mobile phone software on to my PC so am all
ready to go if someone can write out for me the various stages. Once I have
the music in a folder I then want to know how to put it in the ring tones
folder, likewise with the message alert. Now let's face it folks, I don't ask
for much!!!!!!!!! My phone is N95 but I guess it is the principal of the
thing. Brian has told me he has not transferred like this though I am aware he
has a N95. Actually maybe one does not even need the software when
transferring files though now I am probably being stupid. I hear sighted
people talking about dragging and dropping which is the same as cutting and
pasting so we must be able to do this with Talks.
Eleanor
