Re: Adding Phone Favorites
Hi Alan; You need to add the # as a "Voice Call". If you don't pick a catagory the # will not be added. Hope this helps.

Re: Adding Phone Favorites
Especially in the beginning, but even now, sometimes when I am doing things in the phone app, I put my phone into airplane mode. That way, it will tell me that I can't call anybody if I hit the wrong thing and am about to do so. This was after a couple of those two in the morning calls. I then must remember to turn airplane mode off.

RE: Adding Phone Favorites
Cheryl, thanks for setting me straight. I was mistakenly thinking that selecting Voice Call or FaceTime would initiate a call since I seem to be inadvertently initiating calls all the time with the Voice app. I should have realized that since I was in a screen to add a favorite, selecting one of those would do just that.

Re: Adding Phone Favorites
Your mistake is at step 6. You actually only have three options. The first one you are hitting is actually a descriptor and isn't even a button. You need to choose to add it as voice call, facetime audio or facetime.
