Text messages and voice messages on iPhone
Listers, With trepidation, I'm finally getting an iphone 5C. At this stage, I am as green as can be, although I've followed discussions on this group for a good while. Initially, could you reassure me that reading text messages others send me on the ipHOne and listening to voice messages is a piece of cake? Anything to reassure me would really take the jitters out of the situation. I know you will laugh. Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Text messages and voice messages on iPhone
Hi Andrew, I am sure no one would laugh. We all have to start somewhere. I, too, am new to texting, even though I have had an iPhone for several years now. I decided to give it a try, and it is very easy to do. I’m sure if you have questions there are many here who are iPhone gurus.

Re: Text messages and voice messages on iPhone
Andrew, I can assure you that text messages are able to be read and heard. Make certain you go into the text area from the top of the screen carefully so that Vo doesn't read only what you touch. Sieghard, David, others would you please expand a bit on this as it could help me too? This would be used if you miss a message. VO will read as soon as text arrives if you set it in sounds. They are read fully when you hear the sound whatever sound you set. I was a newby once, and sometimes frustrated, but ask any questions, none stupid since you don't know. These are very good people here, couldn't have learned much without them. They never laughed at my non-techie and simple questions, and I did not laugh at yours.

Re: Text messages and voice messages on iPhone
Andrew, When I ventured into the world of Iphonics 13 months ago I was a babe in the woods insofar as having had no experience at all with touch screen interfaces. I have to say that once I learned the various swipes, swishes and gestures I now find the iPhone a dream come true. Texting, both composing/sending and reading is a breeze -- if you don't feel comfortable composing in one manner you have several other options; you can use the on-screen keyboard in one of two modes, you can use your voice via Dictation or you can use the handwriting option where you draw the characters on the screen. VoiceMail is a breeze, you double tap the Phone icon in the bottom strata of the screen and you're placed in a window with five interaction options -- Voice Mail being one of these. I think you'll find the iPhone to be a true pleasure to use. Good Luck! And, never, never feel embarrassed to ask for help or a tip. After all, that's exactly what this list is for -- I think! ;-) Holland's Boy, Bill - Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes. - Napoleon Hill, American author in the area of the new thought movement, 1883-1970 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
