Hello all,
 
Read Jerry Price’s suggestions below and make your life easier. This is a great way to join Zoom or other conference calls. If you have any questions, call Jerry at the library.
 
 
ADDING COMPLICATED PHONE NUMBERS TO YOUR CONTACTS
 
In this day of virtual get together on various platforms such as Zoom and Google Meets, you need an easy way to call these numbers without having to resort to memorization techniques or asking for assistance via three-way calling.  You can do this by adding these complicated numbers to your contacts.  Here’s how:
 
Let say the phone number to call is (123) 456-7890 with a pin of 0987654321#
 
Go to your contacts.
 
Press the add button.
 
Enter in the first name and the last name is you like; I might say first name library last name Meeting.
 
Now add phone, you would type in 1234567890.
 
Then press the sift key and add comma, then press the shift key again and add another comma.
 
(This tells the phone to wait about 2 seconds)
 
Next, type in 0987654321 then hit the shift key again and find your pound sign.
 
Tap the finished button.
 
Now I can tell Siri to call Library Meeting and connect instantly to the virtual conference.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
