Welcome to Shaun of the Shed. There's no denying that technology can be confusing. Just knowing where to start can make your head spin... If you're new to the world of tech and are looking for a helping hand then look no further. If you are new to smartphones the whole "no buttons" touch screen concept can be difficult to grasp. A listener of the show recently told me of someone that had just bought their first smartphone and had concerns regarding making phone calls when their new phone didn't have the physical numeric keypad as his old phone did. This episode is especially for that listener and anyone else with similar worries or concerns. I'll be showing you how to use the phone app, how to make calls, how to answer calls, and explaining the difference between normal phone calls and VOIP calls. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me: [email protected] Below are the timestamps for the topics covered. (3:33) The Phone App (13:11) Making a Call (20:07) Answering Calls & VOIP
