IPhone users are always on the lookout for new ways to get more data onto their phones. Making sure to fully delete voicemails can be a good way to save anywhere from a little space to hundreds of megabytes.
Just as Apple made listening to your voicemail better with the iPhone’s Visual Voicemail feature, so, too, is undeleting email on the iPhone better. Thanks to the way the phone works, you have a longer window in which to undelete an email before it’s permanently lost.
Most iPhone users have probably experienced the annoyance, or even occasional embarrassment, of their cheek hitting the iPhone’s “end call” button and accidentally hanging up on the person they’re talking to.
Starting with iPhone software 1.1.3, users can send a single SMS, or text, message to multiple recipients. Here’s how you do it.
At launch, the iPhone’s ringtones were limited only to the ones that came preloaded on it. A program called iFuntastic has been released that lets you add your own custom ringtones, including those made from your iTunes music collection, to the iPhone.
One the ways people most like to customize their mobile phones is by choosing the sound of the phone’s ringer, otherwise known as a ringtone. IPhone ringtone fans are in luck, because the iPhone comes standard with dozens of quality ringtones. Here's how to choose your default ringtone.
The iPhone allows you to assign specific ringtones to be played when people from your contacts list call you. With this feature, you can play a love song when your significant other calls or "Take this Job and Shove It" whenever the boss calls you at home. Here's how.
To turn off the ringer on the iPhone — and turn on the vibrate or silent modes — all you need to do is flip a switch.
Recording a new voicemail greeting on the iPhone is much easier than with other mobile phones, thanks to the iPhone’s interface. Rather than calling into your voicemail system, hitting some keys, and then talking, the iPhone’s visual interface guides you through the process of recording and reviewing your voicemail greeting in just a few easy steps.
The iPhone’s phone feature allows you to create a list of frequently called phone numbers called Favorites. With favorites, you simply tap the name of the person you want to call and the call is placed. No more struggling remembering what “quick dial” number your phone has assigned to your mom and accidentally calling work!
Removing names and numbers from your iPhone’s Favorites menu is almost as easy as adding them
Favorites are usually displayed in the order they’re added to the Favorites list. But they can be reordered in whatever way you want. It’s as easy as drag and drop. Here’s how you reorder your iPhone Favorites.
