Making and Receiving Phone Calls 20 English
Making a Phone Call
To make a phone call, your phone must be switched on and
unlocked.
It will not be possible to make a phone call unless you are in an
area where there is a GSM900 or GSM1800 service. When a
service has been found, a series of rising bars,
x, will
show the signal strength.
There are a number of different ways to make a phone call:
• Using the digit keys.
• Using automatic redial.
• Redialling the last number called.
• One-touch dialling a Phone Book entry*.
• Dialling a Phone Book entry*.
• Calling an embedded number in a message.
A*Your phone contains a 'phone book' that can be used to
store names and telephone numbers. See ‘What is the
Phone Book?’ for further details.
The simplest method of making a phone call is to enter the
number using the digit keys then press
O.
AIf you make a mistake, press and release the C key to
remove the last digit. Holding the C key down will
remove the entire number.
Your phone will then attempt to make the phone call. The display
will show Calling to show the call attempt is being made. If
the call is not answered, pressing
O, or closing the flip (models
with flip only), at this point will end the attempt.
When the phone call is answered, the display will change to
Connected for a few seconds, followed by End Call?.
To end your call press
O, or close the flip (models with flip
only).
Automatic Redial
If your call attempt does not succeed, the message Redial? will
be displayed for five seconds. Pressing
O at this point will
automatically redial the phone number.
When the call is answered, you will hear a short ring tone.
The maximum number of redial attempts is set by your Cellular
Service Provider. If the phone call cannot be connected within
this maximum, the message Redial Failed will be shown.
