It means modifying a phone number by adding digits to the FRONT of the
number.

I looked in the dictionary instead of the index...sorry...

I printed out the 313 page manual and I am reading it...the last
question Bob..really

How do I find the music melodies on here..I can find tones but I don't
see where the music that answers your phone is kept. I looked under
ringer and it talks about downloading and types but not where to find
the ones already here

Nicki - I should have added one more comment to this last post. Here's a
hint with regards to referencing your manual via Acrobat. Click on the
binocular icon in the tool bar. It's a search function, where you can type
any word in, and it will show all the places where that word is used.

specifically, prepending something to a phone number means inserting it before
the phone number.

Everyone has been super informative and nice. I should use an updated
dictionary but this one is small and fits in the desk drawer. I'm new
to the Sprint newsgroup and it is an interesting read for sure.

On my phone, if you have a local 7 digit number in your Call
History, Scratch Pad, or Internal Phone Book, and travel out of your
area code, then you can prepend the area code to the number before
dialing. It is on a per call basis.

Oh, that reminds me of another tip for Nicki. Always enter all numbers
into your phone book with all 10-digits. Never enter a 7-digit number
into your phonebook.

The 10-digit numbers will always get you to the right place no matter
where on SPCS's network you travel. Dial a 7-digit number when you're
many miles from home and I have no idea whether it'll use the area code
of your phone's number or of where you're standing.

As for musical ringers, I'm not sure about your specific
phone, but on the menu under settings/sounds there will be some ringer
choices. However, most phones come with a set that is limited to about
a half dozen. For more, you'll have to go on-line to retrieve them.
There are many ringers that require you to pay, some are free. It's a
bit complicated, so your best bet may be to check the archives for
this news group.

You have free Vision for two months, so you should take
advantage of that and see if it benefits you. In any event you can
grab a few new ringers before giving it up, if that's your choice.

I can't find any of those song type of things... under settings-sounds
....it has ringer types and volume...but not a list of songs you can
play or change. As far as I can find it has 4 tones...and I doubt
that is right...

I am reading page 39 in my manual but it isn't very clear...I guess it
is called preprogrammed ringers but I can't find them

I use all eleven digits, which includes the U.S./Canada country code of "1".

I don't recall if you ever mentioned what type of phone you
have. On mine (Sanyo 4920) under settings / sounds / ringer type
there's a list of types of call services (voice calls, readylink
calls, etc.) If I enter "voice calls" I get a drop-down box with nine
standard ringer types and I think eleven "melody" ringer types (none
of which I liked, so I actually made my own with free tools on-line,
out of music that interested me).

I have a feeling that the more you play around with the phone
the more you'll discover. It's a lot to learn quickly if you're not
familiar with this stuff, but it's sort of fun.

Good luck, DGI

More specifically, it would use the area code of the antenna site you
are transcieving with.

It took me 3 days to find the songs but I finally did. They had these
tones number 1..2 ...3 etc..and I thought I had gone to the end of
them..but after them..came the songs. I am really disappointed in the
songs that come with the Sanyo 7400

Made your own songs...wow!!

You don't have to be a Latin scholar to know what the prefix "pre" means
(as in prepaid).
And certainly most people know what "append" means. Substitute "pre"
for the "ap" in append and ... voila! It's not rocket science.
