Making calls on the iPhone is a simple process, but there are many ways to customize and manage your calls. In addition to answering and declining calls, you can use features like Visual Voicemail, Favorites, and Vips. During a call, you can use in-call options like Mute and Speaker, as well as access your Contacts. The iPhone also has built-in FaceTime, which allows you to make video calls. Here’s a more detailed look at how to manage your calls on your iPhone.
The Strategy of Receiving and Returning Calls on Your iPhone
When you receive a call, unlock your phone and slide the green arrow to answer it. If you’re using the iPhone when a call comes in, you’ll have the option to Answer or Decline the call. You can also use the Reply with Message option to acknowledge the caller. Remind Me Later is a useful feature that will remind you to call the person back later. Favorites is a speed-dial list of your most-called numbers, and Vips are people you always want to be able to call.
In-Call Options
During a call, you can use six buttons: Mute, Keypad, Speaker, Add Call, FaceTime, and Contacts. Mute lets you silence your microphone, while Speaker allows you to use the speakerphone. You can use the keypad to dial extensions, and Contacts to find numbers or email addresses. You can add up to five people to a call on the iPhone.
Visual Voicemail
Visual Voicemail lists your messages in an easy-to-use format, so you can choose which messages to listen to and in what order. If you have a new voicemail, you can jump straight to it from the Slide to Unlock screen. You can also access your voicemail from the Voicemail button at the bottom of the screen. Non-played voicemails have a blue dot next to them, which you can tap to play back the message. You can also fast-forward or rewind a message using the slider bar. To call someone back, tap the Call Back button. To delete a message, just tap Delete.
Built-In FaceTime
FaceTime lets you make video calls on your iPhone. To make a FaceTime call, tap the FaceTime button while on a call. You’ll need to be connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile network, and the person you’re calling needs to have a FaceTime-compatible device. If the call recipient doesn’t have a compatible device, you’ll see a question mark. If the recipient does have a compatible device, they’ll be prompted to accept or decline the call. FaceTime works over Wi-Fi and mobile networks, but be aware of data usage if you use it over a mobile network.
