you cannot be heard.

number.

incoming call by pressing any button on the dial pad
except

answer incoming calls within a specified number of rings.

occurring when you receive calls.

calls that were not answered.

place to record very brief notes.

outgoing calls, providing useful information such as the
phone numbers of missed calls.

Conference Calling (Three-Way Calling), Voice Mail, Call
