Phone

On iPhone, making a call is as simple as tapping a name or number. And Visual Voicemail plays messages in any order — just like email.

Tap to make a call.

Tap a name or number to call from Contacts, a website, a map, or a text message over a Wi-Fi or 3G network. How to make a call

Do more with Contacts.

Because Contacts is integrated with other applications on iPhone, it’s more than just a list of names and numbers. Tap an address to open Maps and get directions. See your friends’ faces when they call by taking photos and adding them to Contacts. Scroll through contacts with a flick or search to find names fast.

Multitask with a tap.

With iPhone, you can do more than one thing at a time. While you’re on a call, you can check your Calendar, do a quick Google search, even send an MMS message.^* Or you can switch between calls, merge calls, or add up to five callers to create an instant conference call.

See your voicemail.

Visual Voicemail shows you a list of your messages, so you can play them in any order. Easily rewind to any point in a message, in case you missed something. How to check Visual Voicemail

Keep Contacts in sync.

Contacts sync via iTunes each time you connect iPhone to your Mac or PC. To keep them in sync wirelessly and automatically, sign up for a MobileMe account. Or if you use iPhone at work, get push contacts from your company directory via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

Download ringtones.

Browse and download ringtones from the iTunes Store on your iPhone. Then assign ringtones to people in your contacts list, so you always know when your mother, your best friend, or your boss is calling.
