Consumer Cellular gives good support. A techie walked me through 
resetting phone to factory settings. Took around 45 minutes but she 
walked me through a complicated procedure.

Receiving a call (wait three rings and then press green icon and you're 
good to go) is easier than making a call. Hold the thing to your head 
after you press the green phone icon and you can hear the incoming call. 
Another thing we just learned is to turn the ring up to maximum loudness 
and take the phone out of its case if it has one so you'll hear it from 
inside your man purse. Call CC support and they'll walk you through 
setting the loudness.

As for calling out, there's a phone shaped icon on the top screen. Press 
that and a new screen appears. I believe you press on some icon on the 
bottom of that screen which brings up a virtual dialing keyboard. You 
dial the number and press on some icon - I don't know which - which 
dials the number out.

Don't set up a voice mailbox. It uses up your minutes. What did you say 
your number was?
