You may have just purchased your first
iPhone, or perhaps you’ve been using
iPhones for a while and upgraded to
the iPhone 5 with iOS 6. Either way, there
is likely lots you don’t know about your
new iPhone and its operating system. I’ve
been an iPhone user for years. I thought
I knew everything there is to know about it,
but I learned many new things and discov-
ered a ton of hidden features while writing
this book.
The approach I’ve taken is to give you a
thorough grounding in the tasks you most
need and want to do with your iPhone—
things like making calls, using email, and
keeping track of appointments. But I’ve
also covered how to use your iPhone to
browse the web, watch movies, listen to
music, play games, and numerous other
things you may not have known your
iPhone can do.
Introduction
Basically, I present to you plenty of the
meat and potatoes, but I’ve also tried to
throw in an appetizer, a dessert, and a nice
beverage. I’ve enjoyed writing this and
learning more about the iPhone. I hope
you’ll have a few “Oh, wow!” moments of
your own while you’re reading this book.
About This Book
My intention in writing this book is to make
it immensely useful for the person who is
absolutely new to the iPhone. But I also
include lots of great information for those
of you who have used iPhones before.
The first five chapters take you through
opening the iPhone box, knowing what
the external controls do, performing some
basic setup tasks, and making phone calls
(along with all the nifty tricks you can per-
form with the phone part of your iPhone).
Chapters 6, 7, and 8 get you into the heart
of the iPhone, and you’ll learn about some
of the special things your iPhone does well,
such as Notifications, Siri, and apps.
The next few chapters get you doing things,
like reading books and news, watching
movies, playing games, taking photos,
creating videos, writing emails, and send-
ing messages.
Finally, the last two chapters give you a
look at the odds and ends. These include
other Apple apps, small but useful, and
some really great Apple apps that you have
to get from the App Store. Also, you’ll learn
about AirPrint and AirPlay, which let you
print from your iPhone and stream media
to your TV, respectively.
What You’ll Need
It’s pretty basic. You need an iPhone 5 with
iOS 6. And it’ll be helpful if you have a PC
or Mac with the latest version of the free
iTunes software. Finally, a Wi-Fi connection
is needed if you want to make FaceTime
calls. That’s it.

Your iPhone is an amazing device, almost
a notebook computer in your pocket.
You can take photos with it, use it with
FaceTime to have a video chat, use it as
a personal assistant, keep track of your
errands and events, check your email,
browse the Web, play music, read books,
play games, and carry out countless other
activities with additional apps.
But don’t forget, your iPhone is also a
telephone. And not just a simple phone,
but one that helps you, among other
things, keep and organize your contacts,
view records of calls you’ve made, manage
numbers you call frequently, conduct calls
with speakerphone and mute, and retrieve
voicemail.
In this chapter, you’ll take some time to
discover just how your iPhone functions
as a phone.
44 Chapter 4
Making Calls
Odds are you bought your iPhone on a
multiyear contract with a cellular provider.
If this is the case, your phone is likely ready
to go.
If you don’t yet have a carrier, you’ll need
to find one that supports the iPhone. For the
most up-to-date information, visit the Apple
support site and view carriers for your region
(http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937).
Once your iPhone has been activated with
a carrier, you can make calls.
To make a call:
1. Tap the Phone icon in your dock.
2. If the keypad is not visible, tap the
Keypad button on the bottom of the
screen A.
Dial using the keypad A
or
tap and hold in the blue display area
above the keypad to paste a number
you’ve previously copied
or
use Siri or Voice Control to dial or call
a contact (see Chapter 7, “Talking to
Your iPhone”).
3. If you make a mistake, tap the delete
button to back up.
4. When your number appears in the blue
area, tap Call.
To redial a number you just called:
1. Tap Keypad.
2. Tap Call to display the last number
you dialed.
3. Tap Call again to place the call.
A The iPhone’s keypad.
If the number you entered is one that
is stored in your Contacts app, the screen
will display that contact’s name and phone
info under the number. (See Chapter 13,
“Communicating,” to learn more about
managing your contacts.)

Getting Calls
You can, of course, answer incoming calls.
But you can also send a call to your voice-
mail, silence a call, reply to a call with a
text message, or remind yourself to return
the call later. You can also turn on the
Do Not Disturb feature, which sends
unwanted calls to voicemail (see Chapter 6,
“Handling Notifications,” for more on using
Do Not Disturb).
When your phone rings and it’s locked,
your screen will look like A. When it’s
unlocked, you’ll see B.

During a Call
While in the middle of a phone conversa-
tion, you can perform a variety of tasks.
Sometimes you need to pull up the
keyboard to enter numbers in response
to an automated system. You can also use
a speakerphone during your call, put the
other caller on hold, or mute your side of
the call.
If the iPhone’s screen has faded to black
during your call, move it away from your
face A. You’ll end up on a screen with
several options.
Actions you can take during a call include
the following:
n
The Mute button allows you to hear
your caller while sounds coming from
your end will not be broadcast to the
person on the other end. The button
turns blue when mute is on. Tap again
to turn mute off.
n
Tap the Keypad button to access the
keyboard. Tap Hide Keyboard when
you are done with it.
n
Use the Speaker button to put the
phone in speakerphone mode.
n
The Add Call button allows you to add
up to three more callers to your call for
a total of five people. (See the task “To
create a conference call” coming up in
a moment.)
n
Tap FaceTime to switch to a FaceTime
call with the person on the other end, if
they’re also using a FaceTime-enabled
device (see Chapter 13 for more on
using FaceTime).
n
Tap the Contacts button to view, and
perhaps edit, the list of your saved
contacts while you are in the call
(read more about the Contacts app in
Chapter 13).

Using Your iPhone as a Phone 49
To create a conference call:
1. While on a phone call, tap the Add Call
button. This puts the person on the
other end on hold temporarily.
2. Tap the Keypad button and enter
another number

Call button changes to say Merge Calls
B. Tap this button. All of you are now
on the same call.
4. Repeat the previous steps to add
more callers.
You can also start a conference call by
using the Contacts button while you’re talking
to someone else. If you tap on a phone num-
ber in your contacts list, the first caller is put
on hold and the second person is called. When
that second person answers, you can press
the Merge Calls button.
See the Swap button in B? This shows
up right before you tap Merge to create your
conference. It appears whenever you are talk-
ing to someone and you have another person
on hold. Tap the button to swap between the
two callers—that is, put the person you are
speaking with on hold while you speak to the
caller who is currently on hold.
B When you use the Add Call button, call a third
party, and that person answers, the Add Call
button changes to Merge Calls. Tap to begin your
conference call.

Using Phone Settings
When you signed up with your cellular phone
carrier, you probably ended up with some
nice phone features like call forwarding or
call waiting. The settings that work with these
features are under Settings > Phone A.
Here’s what these settings are for:
n
My Number. Your iPhone’s number is
displayed here. You can change the
number here, but changing it doesn’t
actually change it with your carrier;
for the most part it simply changes
anywhere on your iPhone where the
number is displayed. It’s best to leave
it unchanged unless the carrier asks
you to do so when you are changing
numbers associated with the phone.
n
FaceTime. You can toggle FaceTime
capabilities on or off (read more about
using FaceTime in Chapter 13).
n Call Forwarding. Tap it to see the slider
to turn it on or off. If you turn it on, you
will be presented with a screen where
you can enter the number you wish
your calls to be forwarded to.
n
Call Waiting. Tap it to get to a slider
where you can turn it on or off.
n
Show My Caller ID. You can hide your
caller ID by tapping this option and
sliding it to off.
n
TTY. This accessibility option can
be used if you need to connect your
iPhone to a TTY (a device that facili-
tates messaging for deaf and hearing-
impaired users) with an adapter cable.
n
Change Voicemail Password. If you
need to change your voicemail pass-
word, tap this and enter your current
code. Tap Done and enter a new pass-
word. Tap Done and enter your new
password one more time.
A Phone settings.
n
Dial Assist. This option will automati-
cally enter country codes for you when
you’re traveling in another country.
n
SIM PIN. You can add a code or PIN
number to lock your SIM module. This
means that before a call can be made,
the correct PIN has to be entered.
n
AT&T Services. Depending on your
location and carrier, you may see this
option, which opens a list of shortcut
codes you can contact for various
services. Tapping on one of these will
automatically dial the number, and
some will send you a text message
with information (with the exception of
Directory Assistance). Tapping AT&T
MyAccount opens a web page with
more information.
