Episode 35: Sorry, I forgot to silence my phone

Here’s a quick tip voicemail tip for our iPhone users. Most of you are aware, that if you are in a meeting or can’t answer an incoming call, just press the “Sleep/Wake” button on the top of the phone to silence the call. Did you know that if you press the “Sleep/Wake” button twice it will immediately send the caller to voicemail.

Here’s a tip for our Android users. This one comes from Rhonda, so if you call her and she doesn’t pick up right away… you’ll know why. If you get calls from businesses or people you don’t always want to answer right away? Go to contacts and select “Send to voicemail” for that person or business.

Episode 34: Smartphone Keyboard Tips

These tips should work on most phones:

• Want to save an image from the web, simply touch and hold the image and a menu will pop-up with save options.
• Need to use an accent for a name or word, hold the letter you want to change on your keyboard and it will change, revealing the accents. This also works with URLs. Hold the .com button to reveal .net, edu and so on.
• This tip is for Apple devices. Scrolling through a book or website and you want to quickly get to the top of the page? Tap the status bar (bar with the time, battery, etc.) to go to the top of the page.
• When typing on your keyboard and want to insert a number, try holding the "Number Key" (.?123) and drag your finger to the number you want and then release. The keyboard will return to the text keyboard without having to touch the "ABC" button.
