RE: Start-Up Sounds

I guess it depends on what you mean when you say “screen locked”. If you are using your phone and then press the sleep/power button on the side briefly the screen locks and at that point you can touch the screen all day long and nothing will happen. If, however, you mean that you are at the lock

RE: One computer with two phones?

Yes, I run two phones on one PC using iTunes. I use the same apple id for both; but you can create separate apple IDs. Then you would need to enable family sharing if you want to share music or apps across both phones. Cher -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

Hi Sieghard, What you and Steve say is true, but by going by what you say, how come I can answer the phone with the screen locked?! Apparently some functions can be done with the screen locked, but anyways how ever it's doing what it's doing, at least I can now have a sound play and the phone

For the US, you need about 3 GB available, a little less, but best to be safe. If you want both the US and Canada, it is closer to 4 GB of space. But having the maps on the phone greatly reduces data usage. It does have a virtual explore mode for the person who ask about that. Richard “The
