the IM account name in the upper-right corner of the screen to open a list of
phone numbers you have for that contact, and then tapping the number you
want to call.
Receive calls
If you want to answer calls, your phone must be on. This is different from
having only the screen turned on (see Turn the phone on/off). When your
phone is off, your calls go to voicemail.
You can pick the ringtone for incoming calls (see Select the ringtone for
incoming calls). You can set a ringtone for individual contacts as well (see
Add a ringtone to a contact).
Answer a call
Do one of the following:
• If the screen is on when the phone starts ringing, tap .
• If the screen is off, drag up to unlock the screen and answer the call.
Silence the ringer on an incoming call
When you silence the ringer on an incoming call, you can answer the call or
let it ring through to voicemail.
Do one of the following:
• Press power .
• Press volume up or volume down.
• Slide the ringer switch off (red means off). This silences the ringer and
any notification sounds. These sounds remain off until you slide the ringer
switch back on. Other sounds, such as music and video playback, are not
affected by sliding the ringer switch off.
DID YOU KNOW? If you are playing music or a video on your phone and a call
arrives, playback pauses automatically and resumes when you hang up or ignore
the call.
