I don’t get a lot of voice mail. My phone is always with me, and I usually answer it (unless I’m driving, of course!)

So when I do get a voice mail, I fumble. I sometimes forget if I should touch “here” or “here”.

Let’s learn and remember how to do this very basic task.

Here is how to listen to your voice mail:

Touch the green phone icon, and look down at the bottom of the screen.

There you will see ‘voice mail’ on the far right. Tap on ‘voice mail’.

Your voice mail messages will appear.

Tap on the LEFT side of the person’s name. There is a hidden “play” button, there.

(If you tap on the RIGHT side of the screen, you will go to the person’s contact page.)

So… FUMBLE NO MORE.

Remember this little trick for your voice mail:

Listen = Left.

When you want to LISTEN to a voice mail, tap on the LEFT side.
