4-6 Making a call
Calling card call
A phone calling card is a credit or debit card
especially for phone charges. The calling card
service you subscribe to is most often separate
from your mobile phone service. A calling card
may be especially useful when making long dis-
tance calls while traveling, to benefit from the
discounted rates offered by certain calling card
companies.
To make a call with a calling card:
• Select a contact from the Telephone directory.
‚ Press Call and hold the button down for more
than three seconds until the command
changes into Calling card call.
ƒ When you release the button, wait for a tone
and then press OK.
You can also make a calling card call from the
phone interface by pressing and holding
for more than 3 seconds. After the tone, press
OK and proceed normally.
Managing calls
When you have made a call, information about
the call is shown on the display within a frame
(see Figure 4-3). In addition to a call in progress,
it is possible to have both a call on hold and a
call waiting to be answered. A conference call,
which can contain up to five remote partici-
pants, is handled as a single call.
To switch between multiple calls, use the scroll
or arrow keys. The command buttons change ac-
cording to the selected call’s status. Press Acti-
vate to change the held call into an active call.
Call information may include the following:
• Caller ID: the name or phone number of the
caller (if available).
• Call status:
ACTIVE — A connection has been established
and a call is in progress.
ON HOLD — A connection has been established
and you have placed the active call on hold.
WAITING — Someone is trying to call you but
the connection has not been established
(i.e., the caller hears a ringing tone).
AUDIO OFF — The speakerphone audio is set to
Off. Although the cover is open, the speaker-
phone does not activate.
• Call timer: displays time expired since the
beginning of the call and also counts time
spent on hold.
• Call cost counter: shows the cumulative cost of
the call (if this network service is available and
the call cost setting is on). Call costs are calcu-
lated according to the currency or charging
units set in the phone interface (see Chapter 13
"Phone interface: Detailed menus list -
Duration and cost (Menu 6)" on page 13-12).
To end a call, select the call you want to end and
press End call.
