Answer Phone Calls
The following information lets you know how to answer incoming calls, mute the ringer on incoming
calls, reject incoming calls, and more.
When you receive a phone call from a contact, the Incoming call screen appears and displays the
caller ID icon, name, and phone number of the calling party. When you receive a phone call from
someone who is not stored in People, only the default caller ID icon and phone number appear on
the Incoming call screen.
Note: Your phone will automatically adjust the ringtone volume when you use the polite ringer and
pocket mode features.
Note: If your phone is turned off, all calls automatically go to voicemail.
