   Howdy! Alan,

   I'm sure it uses Android since it wasn't a iPhone device.   
   I saw Verision(sp?) on one screen.

   Thank You, I will tell him.   
      
   I watched him as he was swiping his finger on the phone, and got dizzy   
   seeing the display changing.   
      
   Of course He is used to using the device, all I ever did with a   
   cellphone is to dial a telephone number, and I only used one to call   
   someone probably less than 6 times in the last 6 years.   
      
   Which brings to my mind a story about what I did one time using a   
   "Cordless Phone" (not a Cellphone) when I was someones home.   
      
   Earlier that day I had used the remote handset to call someone, and I   
   was wanting to ReDial the number but couldn't find the ReDial Button   
   because the writing on the buttons was faded from years of use.   
      
   I was also wanting to turn the 'Speaker Phone' option ON before I   
   dialed the number, so everyone could listen to my call, and I looked   
   at all of the buttons trying to see what button to press and finally   
   decided the button in the top row that had been printed with RED INK   
   was the Speaker Phone button, IT WASN'T!, I heard 3 Beeps and realized   
   I pressed the button to call 911 Emergency Services, so I quickly   
   pressed the button to stop the call.   
      
   And then the telephone rang, it was the 911 Operator who I told that I   
   was unfamiliar with using the cordless phone and I had accidently   
   pressed the Emergency button.   
      
   After I finished talking to the Operator, I finally made out the   
   writing on the button to ReDial the last number.   
      
   I was thinking the number I had called earlier that day would be   
   redialed, but I heard the 3 Beeps again and realized it had called 911   
   again, and I apologized to another 911 Operator who answered the call.   
      
   So I manually dialed the number for the person I originally was wanting   
   to call, and a few minutes later, while I was talking on the phone,   
   I heard the Door Bell ring.   
      
   It was the Police checking to see if everything was all right at that   
   home.   
      
   Alan, One thing about me is that You don't have to Exaggerate when You   
   tell a story about me.   
   It's bad enough just telling the story as it is.

   I've been meaning to go to aol.com to see if they had a Help file for   
   their App that I could learn from, but You Replied to my question   
   before I got a ROUNDTUIT.    Thanks Again!
