### Making a Phone Call
|
||||
|
||||
Press **F** to call from either the conversation view or the contacts
|
||||
directory. The display switches to a dialing screen showing the contact name
|
||||
(or phone number) and an animated progress indicator. Once the remote party
|
||||
answers, the screen transitions to the in-call view with a live call timer.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to start a call:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **From a conversation** — open a conversation and press **F**. You can call
|
||||
any number you have previously exchanged messages with, whether or not it is
|
||||
saved as a named contact.
|
||||
2. **From the contacts directory** — press **D** from the inbox, scroll to a
|
||||
contact, and press **F**.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** There is currently no way to dial an arbitrary phone number without
|
||||
> first creating a conversation. To call a new number, press **C** from the
|
||||
> inbox to compose a new SMS, enter the phone number, send a short message,
|
||||
> then open the resulting conversation and press **F** to call.
|
||||
|
||||
During an active call, **W** and **S** adjust the speaker volume (0–5). The
|
||||
number keys **0–9**, **\***, and **#** send DTMF tones for navigating phone
|
||||
menus and voicemail systems. Press **Enter** or **Q** to hang up.
|
||||
|
||||
Audio is routed through the A7682E modem's internal codec to the board speaker
|
||||
and microphone — no headphones or external audio hardware are required.
|
||||
|
||||
### Receiving a Phone Call
|
||||
|
||||
When an incoming call arrives, the app automatically switches to the incoming
|
||||
call screen regardless of which view is active. A short alert and buzzer
|
||||
notification are triggered. The caller's name is shown if saved in contacts,
|
||||
otherwise the raw phone number is displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
Press **Enter** to answer or **Q** to reject the call. If the call is not
|
||||
answered it is logged as a missed call and a "Missed: ..." alert is shown
|
||||
briefly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Contacts
|
||||
|
||||
The contacts directory lets you assign display names to phone numbers.
|
||||
Names appear in the inbox list, conversation headers, and compose screen

instead of raw numbers.
