Dial from another application
If a phone number appears in another application as an underlined link, you
can begin dialing the number directly from that application. For example,
you can dial phone numbers that appear in web pages; in messages (email,
text, or multimedia); or in notes to calendar events.
1 If a phone number appears as an underlined link, tap the number. This
displays the dial pad with the number already entered.
2 Tap to dial.
In Messaging, you can dial a contact from a conversation by tapping Text or
the IM account name in the upper-right corner of the screen to open a list of
phone numbers you have for that contact, and then tapping
next to the
number you want to call.
Receive calls
If you want to answer calls, your phone must be on. This is different from
having only the screen turned on (see
Turn the phone on/off ). When your
phone is off, your calls go to voicemail.
You can pick the ringtone for incoming calls (see Select a file from the
ringtones folder as a ringtone ). You can set a ringtone for individual contacts
as well (see Add a ringtone to a contact ).
Answer a call
Do one of the following:
• If the screen is on when the phone starts ringing, tap .
• If the screen is off, drag up to unlock the screen and answer the call.
• If a headset is attached, press the button on the headset.
Silence the ringer on an incoming call
When you silence the ringer on an incoming call, you can answer the call or
let it ring through to voicemail.
TIP
You can see a photo of the person calling you by assigning a caller ID photo.
See Add a photo to a contact .
TIP If you miss a call, a notification appears at the bottom of the screen. Tap the
notification to open the missed call dashboard item. On the dashboard item, tap
the name or number to call the person back, or tap the icon on the left to open
your call history to the missed calls list (see
View your call history ).
