Listen to a voicemail and call back

Learn to listen to a voicemail and call back, in 6 short steps.

6 steps · about 3 minutes · practice it with SafePhone Pro

Step by step

  1. Open "Phone" (the green phone at the bottom of the Home screen).
  2. Someone left you a message: the red number on "Voicemail" says so. Tap "Voicemail" at the bottom.
  3. Tap the message from James.
  4. Tap the play button to listen. The words are also written below ("Transcript").
  5. James asks you to call back. Tap "Call back".
  6. When you are done talking, hang up with the red button.

These steps are written for SafePhone, a pretend Android-style smartphone in your web browser. On your own smartphone, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.

Practice it where nothing can break

SafePhone works like a real smartphone, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
