Hi Carolyn, If you have 6 or 8 contacts you call a lot it would be much easier to add them to your Favourites tab in the phone app. Whatever tab you select will be remembered when you open the phone app, e.g. if you have the Contacts tab or text a lot selected then each time you open the phone app you are instantly in contacts, if you select the Favourites tab you will always be in there. To add somebody to Favourites, do the following:
1. Find the person in your contacts and double tap on it to open the contact 2. Do a 4-finger single tap in the bottom half of the screen, it takes you to the last item on the screen which Is"Share my location" 3. Swipe back to the left once and you find "Add to Favourites", double tap on that 4. Swipe until you find the action you want to do, e.g. if you have a home and mobile number entered for that person and you typically call them on their home number, find "Call Home" and then double tap on that. 5. You are now back in your contacts details, you can to the scrub gesture or double tap the back button to close it and go back to your main contacts list. Now open the phone app and double tap on Favourites if it is not already selected, you now see an entre for you rcontact with their home number and double tapping on it will call them at that number. You can add a second entry with their mobile number and depending on which of the entries you tap it will call either their home or their mobile number. I have currently 10 entries on my Favourites tab and they all show on the first screen which means I can start at the top and run my finger down the screen and Voiceover speaks each name along with "home", "mobile" or whatever number I have selected for them. You can even add somebody to this list to text so that if you double tap on that entry instead of calling it will start a text message. If you think about how many steps are involved in calling somebody using the contacts app using Favourites is super efficient. Here a summary: Contacts app method: 1. Open the contacts app 2. Touch on the side to find the table index 3. Swipe potentially quite a lot to find the letter you want 4. Touch the screen and, if necessary, swipe some more to find the exact person 5. Double tap to open their contact 6. Find the number you want to call them on 7. Double tap to call Using the Favourites tab method: 1. Double tap on the phone app to open it, Favourites will be selected if you last used it 2. Swipe right or run your finger down the screen towards the left of the screen to find the entry /name you want, if mostly you have just 8 or 10 people on their you can probably learn like me to touch them almost at the first try, sometimes I might be one or two entries above or below and I have to swipe once or twice 3. Double tap to call Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Carolyn Arnold Sent: Saturday, August 4, 2018 7:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: My phone doesn't I have a Windstream address that I use in Outlook for everything or almost everything. But, I do have a couple of email addresses. My husband set up my phone, and I don't know why he got a new one, just went through prompts. Anyway, yes, I am getting pretty close to doing that. I used to read emails on my iPhone 4S and could delete them. They all were in sync with this computer. Then for a while I had a tablet, which I sold, but I got to where I could send and receive emails on it. I have gotten comfortable with Contacts, Voice Mail, texting and Settings. Also now, I have a couple of apps that I go into regularly. Some of you on the list showed me how to move apps, and I got one done. I keep thinking I'll have a little time and move a couple more. The thing is, that I want to just move what I want to move - no more, no less. I am just glad that I have Contacts at the top left, so it is highlighted first, and all I have to do is double tap and I'm in it. I like Tables in it, and can zip to T and back to Suzy, my sister. If it weren't for you on this list and for the Hadley videos, I'd probably be getting Siri to do everything, but the Consumer Cellular guy told me, and he was right, that sometimes, Siri can't make calls, when I can in Contacts. I just think it is so neat that Contacts are on the Home Page, and I don't have to open Phone, then Contacts. Another thing I have learned it to check on App Switcher to make sure things are closed. I'm getting much better battery usage now, usually charge every other day.

I know it can be done, but as you are carefully learning this stuff, it is worth it to take advantage of their service. They are there 24/7. If your email is Gmail, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is easy to set up that mail account on your iPhone. If you want to do that, let's start a new thread.

I need to get up with Apple and change the email addres they have to the gmail address I have that is on my computer in Outlook. Once I get that, and see if they also can sync my Windstream address or show me how to do it, then I'll be doing email on my iPhone. I have followed my husband's advice and learned one thing at a time.
