If your social circle is longer than one screenful, you can navigate this list in any of three ways:įirst, you can savor the distinct pleasure of flicking through it. That’s a much better place for it than deep at the end of a menu labyrinth, where it is on most phones. Your iPhone’s own phone number appears at the top of the Contacts list. You can also erase the entire list, thus preventing a coworker or significant other from discovering your illicit activities: Tap Edit, and then tap Clear at the top of the screen. (Once again, there’s also a long way: Tap Edit, tap next to the unwanted entry, and then tap Delete.) You can erase one call from this list exactly the same way you’d delete a favorite: Swipe leftward across the undesired name. (Tap to see the exact times of the calls.) If some obsessed ex-lover has been calling you every 10 minutes for four hours, you’ll see “Chris Meyerson (24)” in the Recents list. To save you scrolling, the Recents list thoughtfully combines consecutive calls to or from the same person. If someone who isn’t in Contacts has called you, iOS takes a guess at that person’s name-by looking for a matching phone number in the signature portion of your email! For example, if Frank Smythe has called you from 21, and there’s also an email from him with his phone number as part of his signature, then the Recents list will say: Maybe: Frank Smythe. If the call isn’t from someone in your Contacts, then you get to see a handy notation at the top of the info screen: the city and state where the calling phone is registered (below, right). A small gray star denotes a phone number that’s also in your Favorites list, and a Recent label indicates a recent call from that number. A little table displays all the incoming and outgoing calls to or from this person that day. If so, the info screen displays the person’s whole information card (below, left). What else you see here depends on whether the other person is in your Contacts list. At the top of the screen, you can see whether this was an outgoing call, an incoming call, a missed call, or a canceled call (in which you chickened out and hung up before your callee answered). Tap next to any call to open the info screen. To call someone back-regardless of whether you answered or dialed the call-tap that name or number in the list. The color-coding and separate listings are designed to make it easy for you to return calls you missed, or to try again to reach someone who didn’t answer when you called.Ī tiny icon lets you know which calls you made (to differentiate them from calls you received).
If you tap Missed at the top of the screen, you see only your missed calls.
Here’s what you need to know about the Recents list:Ĭalls that you missed (or sent to voicemail) appear in red type. Here’s a more detailed look at each of the Phone-app modules. This, however, is only the Quick Start Guide.

Once you’ve dialed, no matter which method you used, either hold the iPhone up to your head, put in the earbuds, turn on the speakerphone, or put on your Bluetooth earpiece-and start talking! You can punch in any number and then tap to place the call. This dialing pad’s big, fat buttons are easy to hit even with big, fat fingers. It’s your phone book tap somebody’s name or number to dial it. This program also has an icon of its own on the Home screen you don’t have to drill down to it through the Phone button. Or tap the button to view the details of a call-when, where, how long-and, if you like, to add this number to your Contacts list.Ĭontacts. Missed callers’ names appear in red lettering, which makes it easy to spot them-and to call them back. Every call you’ve recently made, answered, missed, or even just dialed appears in this list. (Details on building and editing this list begin in “The Favorites List”.) Here’s the iPhone’s version of speed dial: It lists up to 50 people you think you call most frequently.
A new row of icons appears at the bottom, representing your voicemail ( “Visual Voicemail”) and the four ways of dialing from here:įavorites. You get good results saying things like, “Call Casey Robin’s cell” or “Dial 866-2331.”
