I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")

What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

How do you get the dial read out to work?
I know how to turn it on, but nothing happens when I do. _(link)

Hi there,

The manual says NOTHING about this, but from experience with other phones, I am going to suggest that you check the various volume levels:

Alert volume

Touch-tone Volume

Keypad volume

... and whatever else you see in the menu. One of these probably holds the key to getting your phone to do what you want.

Your cell provider knows the phones pretty well, so if it doesn't work when you adjust volume levels for the various features, then I would take it in and have them show you how to do it.

You pay a bunch for service, and this is part of the service so you might as well use it, right? :-)

Thank you. (:
