If you want to delete the words, tap the Backspace key.

If you want to move the words, do this: tap Cut, then tap the blank space where you want the words to appear, then (after a pause) tap that space again, then tap Paste.

Instead of pointing by using a finger, use a fingernail (because it’s smaller).

If you press your finger (or fingernail) onto the screen for at least a half second, you’ll see a magnifying glass that shows more clearly where you’re pressing. Drag your finger (or fingernail) to the exact position you want.

           Call

You don’t have to tap 1 first.

If the number you’re calling has the same area code as your phone, you don’t have to tap the area code.

Calls you made are black and show and arrow coming out of a phone.

Calls you received are black with no arrow.

Calls you missed or refused are red.

For each phone number and each day, the list usually mentions just the day’s last call involving that phone number.

If the phone’s been on and normal, the phone suddenly plays music, vibrates, and shows the phone number. Tap “Answer”. Put the phone next to your cheek. Chat. Then tap “End”.

If the phone’s been sleeping, (so the screen is entirely black but the phone is still using a trickle of electricity), the phone suddenly plays music and vibrates, and shows the Lock screen & phone number. Put your finger on “slide to answer” and swipe to the right. Put the phone next to your cheek. Chat. Then tap “End”.

If the phone’s been totally off (so the screen is entirely black and the phone is using no electricity) or you reject the call (by ignoring it or tapping “Decline” instead of “Answer”), Verizon sends the caller to the voicemail system.

If you’re in the middle of a previous phone call, the phone does this
call-waiting procedure: the phone beeps and shows the phone number. Tell the previous person, “Excuse me a moment”. Tap “Answer (Hold Current Call)”. Chat with the second person briefly (while the previous person is on hold). You can swap back and forth between the two calls by tapping “Swap”. To end a call completely, tap “End”. Then you’ll hear music, to warn that you haven’t finished the other call yet; to reply to the warning, do this: if you see “slide to answer”, put your finger on it and swipe to the right; if you see an Answer button instead, tap it. When you finish chatting, tap “End”.

“I’m sorry. The person you are trying to reach has a voice mailbox that has not been set up yet. Please try your call again later. Good-bye.”

Tap the “Voicemail” icon (which is at the Phone screen’s bottom-right corner and shows a picture of a cassette tape). Verizon’s female robot will talk to you. Follow her instructions: tap the numbers and say the phrases she asks for.

If the screen says “Swipe to listen”, put your finger on that and swipe to the right.

Otherwise, if the screen says “Listen”, tap that.

Otherwise, tap the “Voicemail” icon (at the Phone screen’s bottom-right corner). If you see a list of messages that came in, tap the message you want to hear, then tap “„”.

To the right of that phone number, you see a circled “i”. Tap that “i” then “Create New Contact”. (If you don’t see “Create New Contact” yet, make it appear by doing this: put your finger in the screen’s middle and swipe up.)

Tap “First”. (To do that reliably, use your fingernail instead of a fat finger.) You see a typewriter keyboard. On that keyboard, type the person’s first name (if you know it).

Tap “Last”. Type the person’s last name (if you know it).

Tap “Company”. Tap the name of the company (if any).

When you finish typing, tap “Done” (which is at the screen’s top-right corner). Then tap the “Recents” icon (at the screen’s bottom).

Tap the “Contacts” icon (which is at the Phone screen’s bottom).

You see the contacts list, which is a list of people (and companies), normally alphabetized by the person’s last name. If the list is too long to fit on the screen, scroll down (by putting your finger in the screen’s middle and flicking up).

Tap the person you want to call. You see the person’s phone number. Tap it.

Tap the “Contacts” icon (so you see the contacts list). Find that person on the contacts list. Tap that person then “Add to Favorites” then “Voice Call”.

Tap the “Favorites” icon (which is at the Phone screen’s bottom-left corner and looks like a star). You see the favorites list (which is shorter than the contacts list). Tap the person you want to call.

Tap “Edit” (which is at the screen’s top-left corner) then the person’s red circle then “Delete” then “Done”.

Instead of putting the phone next to your cheek, put the phone on your desk then tap the “speaker” icon.

If you press the top Volume button (the big button nearer the phone’s top edge), you increase the volume.

If you press the bottom Volume button (the button nearer the phone’s bottom edge), you decrease the volume.

If you press a Volume button when you’re in the middle of a phone call, you affect how you hear the other person’s voice.

If you press a Volume button when you’re not in the middle of a phone call, you affect the volume of the ringtone (the music that alerts you a call is coming in).

If you tap a Volume button while the ringtone is playing, the phone assumes you don’t like the ringtone, so the phone mutes the ringtone temporarily (just for this particular call).

Phone the first friend. Say “Wait a moment while I set up a 3-way call.” Tap the “add call” icon (which is a “+” sign) when it becomes bright (instead of dim).

Phone the second friend. When the second friend answers, say “Wait a moment while I set up a 3-way call.” Tap the “merge calls” icon (which shows two highways merging) when it becomes bright (instead of dim).

Enjoy your 3-way call! When you finish chatting, tap “End”.

Contacts-list method Make the contacts list appear (by tapping the “Contacts” icon, which is at the Phone screen’s bottom). Scroll down until you find the person you want. Tap that person.

To the right of that person’s phone number, you see a bubble. Tap the bubble.

Messages-app method Tap “Messages” (which is at the Home screen’s top-left corner).

Then make sure the screen’s top-left corner says “Edit”. (If the screen’s top-left  corner says “< Messages” instead, tap that to make “Edit” appear.)

You see a list of people you recently communicated with by text messages. If the person you want is on that list, tap the person; otherwise, do the following.… Tap the “New message” icon (which is near the screen’s top-right corner and looks like a pencil writing on a sheet of paper). Start typing the person’s first name (or last name); you’ll see a list of matching people; tap the person you want.

Text stage If you were in the middle of texting with that person, you see the person’s message to you immediately.

List stage If you were in the middle of looking at a list of people you’ve been texting with, the computer rings its bell. You see a blue dot in front of that person’s name. Tap the person’s name. Then you’re in text stage.

Other-app stage If you were in the middle of another app (or looking at the Home screen), the computer rings its bell. You see “now” at the screen’s top, briefly. Try to tap “now” (which will put you in text stage). If you fail to tap “now”, tap the Messages icon (which is on the Home screen and has a red circle indicating a message came in); then you’ll be in text stage or list stage.

Sleep stage If the phone was sleeping, it wakes up and rings its bell. It says “slide to reply”. Put your finger on “slide to reply” and swipe to the right (because if you don’t, the phone will ring its bell occasionally until you do). When you’ve finally swiped, you’ll be in text stage or list stage.

Off stage If the phone was completely off (so it used no electricity), the phone will check for text messages when you turn it back on. It will realize a text message had been sent. You’ll be in Other-app stage.

Tap “Text Message”. Type your reply then tap “Send”.
