[Electronics-talk] I finally made my decision and took the iPhone plunge

[Baracco, Andrew W]

I find that this doesn't always work for me.  The phone often mistakes
the two finger double tap for a 3 finger double tap, and toggles speech
on and off.

The other, and in my opinion easier, way to  answer calls is just the
two finger double tap the screen when the call comes in.  that is, tap
the screen with two fingers at the same time twice.  take two fingers
touch the screen once in touch screen again quickly as if you were
double-clicking a mouse.   if I were you I would ask someone to call you
a few times and practiced the two finger double tap gesture.

Hope that helps,

Jim.

notice that the right most icon sends the call to voice mail.  It's the
one to the left you want to double tap.  That will answer the call.  To
make calls, open the phone app.  that's the bottom left most icon.
Then, the keypad will show.  This is like a normal touch tone phone.
simply focus on the digits you want to dial and then double tap each.

I decided that since I am not the techiest person in the world, that I
would upgrade from the Haven to the iPhone!  So, I may be asking you
guys some weird questions.  I am reading "getting started with the
iPhone" but there is so much info there I know I won't even begin to
remember much in my first reading.  Right now, I need straightforward
directions on how to make and answer calls, how to redial, how to do
numbers that aren't in contacts yet, and how to use contacts.  Then I
will start learning other things.
