Creating an Email Message with Your Voice

This section describes the process for creating an email with your voice, and shows you how to use your Vemail Address Book to more easily address messages. If you have not yet copied your address book from your comptuer to your Vemail software, see the previous section for instructions.

In order to create an email with your voice, first start your Vemail software on your phone, click OK to get past any tips or intro screen, enter your Vemail password if prompted, and get to the Main screen.

Press 1

Your default email address is automatically entered as the From address. Click Ok or down to proceed.

TIP: If you have added/linked more than one email address, you can click on Menu and then press 1 to change the From address to one of your other addresses.

Type in the email address of the person to whom you want to send your message. You can type in multiple email address as long as you separate them with a semicolon. To type a semicolon click Menu, press 4 for symbols, and press OK.

OR you can address messages using your Vemail Address Book. Click Menu and then press 1.

If you have contacts in your Vemail Address Book they will appear on the Pick Contact screen. If you don’t have any, then you can add them manually in your Vemail software (from Main select Address Book) or you can copy all your contacts from your computer to your Vemail phone software (see previous section for instructions).

Press down to highlight the contact you want to pick, and then press OK or click Select. If you have more than 50 contacts you can jump up or down 50 contacts at a time by pressing 0 to jump down and * to jump up (on most phones). You can also type the first few letters of someone’s name to jump to them.

For example, if we press the 7 key three times to type an “r”, the screen jumps down to the first name starting with an “r”.

If we then press the 6 key three times to type an “o”, the screen jumps to the first name in our address book that begins with “ro”. Note: In order to search using two or more letters, the letters need to be typed within 10 seconds of each other. If you need to type letters that are on the same key, type the first letter, wait 3 seconds, and then type the second letter.

Once you have found the contact you want, press OK or click Select.

Your contact’s addresses will be displayed. Select the desired address and press OK or click Select.

Your message is now addressed. Click Continue to proceed.

Tips:

Enter addresses in the CC field to copy someone on your message.

Enter addresses in the BCC field to blind copy someone on your message.

A default Vemail Subject has been entered for you. You can keep it as-is, or use the CLR or BACK key to erase it and enter your own.

The next screen is the Record Voice screen. Press OK or 1 to start recording your message. The top of the screen shows maximum recording time for your message; it varies depending on your phone’s memory. Note: You may have problems sending really long messages if your carrier’s data network is unreliable. If you experience dropped connections, try keeping your messages short.

Put the phone to your ear and speak your message NOW. When you are done speaking, remove the phone from your ear and press 9 or OK. A timer shows you the length of your recorded message. For best results make sure your phone’s microphone is no more than 1 inch from your mouth when you are speaking.

Congratulations, you have created your first Vemail (voice email) message. Press 2 to send your message. You can also review it or re-record it.

If you don’t see this screen, skip to the next step. Some newer versions of Vemail will display this Delivery screen. If you want your message delivered in the most convenient fashion, press 1. If you want your message delivered in the most secure fashion, press 2. When you require your message recipient to “sign in” for your message, they will either need to sign in with their Vemail User Name or Password, or they will need to create a Vemail User Name and Password (free). If you always want the most convenient delivery for all your messages then press 3. If you always want the most secure delivery for all your messages then press 4. To change this setting on supported (1.03 and above) versions of Vemail, go to the Main screen, then select Settings, then select Message Delivery.

Your Vemail is being sent. The amount of time it takes depends on the length of your Vemail message, and the speed of your carrier data network.

TIP: For faster performance, check with your carrier to see if 1XRTT EVDO is available in your area. This data network technology offers speeds in excess of 400 Kbps.

Your Vemail message has been sent successfully. Press 1 to return to the Main screen. Press 2 to go to the Inbox screen.
