It involves picking it up opening up the flap and using both hands to fold back the leather and then speaking. By the time I've doe that the caller has rung off and left a message.
Does anyone have a solution to handle the Passport width for one hand and leather fold over case problem or are you all 'call back' after voicemail users, or do you use earplugs with call answering features on the wire and speak sounding like one of those nutters who speaks to themselves in the streets?
At present, I am loving the Passport (now that you guys helped me to succesfully set up Blend / Link software )but I have still not dared change my main business Sim number over to the Passport in case I find answring the phone as it rings too burdensome on the move. I am still using my old fashioned tiny Blackberry 0S7 device for calling business contacts, and using the Passport Sim for one off occasional private calls I can do at home on loudspeaker.
Your help is ever appreciated.
This is what I've done through settings, Tap on phone icon to open phone,,then pull down at the screen top to expose the gear icon/settings,, tap on gear icon to open settings which are just for phone,, Tap on 'Holster' and then activate both actions which are; Answer a Call by Removing Device From Holster (which is exactly the same action as flipping open the cover flap!) and End call by putting device back in holster (which is exactly the same action as flipping the flap closed!) You can see my Ringke Discover leather case in my icon picture, I can pick up the case with one hand and flip the flap open which answers phone and then flip the flap closed to end the call, I just wish I could get it to auto-speaker at same time!
