Making Phone Calls
October 21, 2003 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner’s Manual 72
Answer a Call
When you receive a new incoming phone call, you will see a notification screen like the following:
Since the Answer button is highlighted by default, all you have to do is press the wheel to answer the call.
To send the call directly to voice mail, highlight and select the Forward to Voice Mail button, or simply
press Back .
There are a couple of special cases you should know about:
• If your device is locked when a call comes in press the wheel to answer the call. Once you’re on the
call, the phone screen will include a button that allows you to the device so you can use the
Menu, Back, and Jump buttons.
• If you are already in a call when another call comes in (call waiting), the notification screen will
include a button to Switch Calls. If you press this button, the first call will be put on hold. Alternatively,
you can press the Forward to Voice Mail button to send the incoming call straight to voice mail.
About Caller ID
If your caller does not have Caller ID blocked on their phone account, then the incoming call notification screen
will include the caller information. In addition, if you have the caller in your Address Book, the notification screen
will be further personalized with the label on the phone number and an identity icon, if you have stored this
information.
For example, in the case that the caller does not have Caller ID blocked and you have the caller in your Address
Book, you could get a notification screen that looks like the one in the illustration above for caller Gloria Grant.
End a Call
There are a few ways you can end your phone call:
• If you are in the Phone application, select the button.
• If you are in an application other than Phone, press Menu then select End Call.
• Regardless of where you are, press Back .
