I believe you are asking about doing audio text messages. You will find the record button to the right of your normal text field when composing a text message. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 12:07 PM Subject: RE: How do you place a call on hold and answer another and where do I find those auto text messages you can send?
Jen, If you use the Apple Earpods, you can simply press the middle button (Answer/Hang Up) and it will place the caller you are speaking with on hold and answer the incoming call. If you are not using a headset, you have 2 buttons when a call is coming in while you are already on a call. I can’t recall the exact wording, but it is something like “Hold and Accept” and “Hang Up and Accept”. Obviously the hang up and accept will hang up on the current caller and accept the second caller. The Hold and Accept will do exactly that, it will put the current caller on hold and accept the second call. I believe a 2-finger double tap will also do that, so basically you just use the gesture to answer a call and it will put the first caller on hold. Maybe somebody else can confirm since I usually use the buttons. Once you are done with the second caller and want to switch back to the first, you have to find the “Hold” button. If your keypad is active, you first have to hide the keypad, then find the button which says “Selected, Hold” or something like that. This will switch back to the first caller and put the second caller on hold or, if you already hung up on the second caller, it will switch back to your original call. As for sending short preset text messages, that is possible, but of course you have to be very fast. While your phone is ringing, there is a button called “Message” and if you double tap on it you are presented with 3 preset text messages and a “Custom” button which just opens the Messages app where you could type in a message. By default they are as follows: Sorry, I can’t talk right now. I’m on my way. Can I call you later? Each of those is a button and double tapping on it will select and send it, no further taps are required. You can change these to say anything you like in Settings, Phone, Respond with Message. Here you see these 3 messages, each is an edit field and you can go into edit mode and change the text or delete it altogether and type in something you want. Of course if somebody calls you from a landline they may not get your message or, if the provider supports text to speech, they may later get a voice mail which contains a TTS version of your message. Anyhow, definitely not a great option unless you know the second caller is calling from a cell phone and will get your auto message instantly. Like I said, using the Message feature as a Voiceover user requires a bit of practice, you have to take the phone away from your ear and wait the small amount it takes to switch to speakerphone, of course if you are talking to somebody you probably want to tell them first to hold on a moment because you have another call otherwise they may continue talking while you are trying to find the Message button and listen to Voiceover and it will be on speaker, then you have to find the button which is pretty easy, it’s at the bottom left of the screen, then I believe focus is automatically placed on the “Cancel” button so if you want the first of your 3 messages, you have to find it by dragging your finger around the screen or swipe left past the “Custom” button and the other 2 messages etc. On the answer screen when a call comes in is also a “Remind me later” button in addition to the Message and Answer buttons. This button allows you to select a time interval so if you are on a call and use it you can set yourself a reminder to call back after whatever preset times there are.

Hi, I am wondering how you place a call on hold and answer another using voice over? Also I have seen friends send me messages like I’m driving, sorry I’m busy etc. Can you do this on the iPhone? I have seen similar messages when you get a call and you want to respond with a message but don’t know if you can just send a message like that when you just can’t answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jen -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
