Making and taking phone calls


Do you regularly call a phone number that requires you type in a PIN number or an extension?

Here's a way to speed up the process! Let's say you're running late for a voice conference. Instead of calling the number, typing in the conference ID, pressing the hash mark, then typing in the PIN code and pressing the harsh mark again, here's a way to do it faster:

Let's say the phone number is +358 50 123 4567. The conference ID is 12345 and the PIN number is 6789. Here's what you do:

1. Type the phone number into your S60 device, then insert a 'p' by pressing the '*' key three times. P stands for pause, it will pause the dialing for one second. Need it to pause for three seconds? Simply insert three p's.
2. Next you'll insert the conference ID followed by a hash mark, then insert another 'p'.
3. Finally you'll insert the PIN number followed by the hash mark and push SEND.
4. The number you dialed will look like this: +3585012345678p12345#p6789# - It dials the number, pauses for one seconds, inserts the conference ID, pauses again, then inserts the PIN code.

Making conference calls with your S60 device

S60 has the power for up to six parties to talk at once in a conference call. Here's how to do it:

1. Make a connection with your first party by dialing them or receiving a call.

2. Once you're connected, choose Options -> New call.

3. Enter the number of your second party or press Find and search in your Contacts.

4. Once you're connected with your second party, choose Options -> Conference.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add more parties to your conference call.

Assigning speed dial using two keys

Instead of looking through your contacts, or punching in the entire phone number, you can press two keys to dial your most-called numbers.

1. From the main menu, choose "Tools".

2. Choose "Speed Dial" (it may be called "1-Touch"). If you're asked to turn on speed-dialing, press "Yes".

3. You'll see the screen on the right-hand side. Choose an unassigned number and select "Assign".

4. Your contacts list will appear. Select a contact to assign to that number. (Number 1 is reserved for your voice mail)

5. When you're in standby mode, press the speed-dial number you just assigned, and then press Send. Your phone will begin to dial the contact you selected.

Assigning speed dial using just one key

Is two keys one too many for you? Speed dial with the push of just one key.

1. From the main menu, choose "Tools".

2. Next choose "Settings", then "Call Settings" (or "Call"), then scroll down and select "1-Touch Dialing" and select "On". (see the screen below)

3. If you haven't specified your speed dial numbers yet, you can do this from your Contacts menu. When viewing a number, select "Options" and then "Assign speed dial". Pick a number and you're done.

4. When you're in standby mode, press and hold the assigned speed-dial key and your phone will make the call.

Include an image to see who is calling you

Want to see a photo of the person who's calling you?

1. From the main menu, choose "Contacts".

2. Select a particular contact you'd like to attach a photo to.

3. Choose "Options", then "Edit", then "Options", then select "Add thumbnail".

4. Select the memory (phone or memory card) where the photo is located and select "OK".

5. Find the photo you'd like to attach and choose "Select". Don't worry about the size of the image: it will create a thumbnail of the proper size for you. (shown right)

6. Now when that contact calls you, you'll see a picture of his or her face along with the contact name.
