An End to Getting Frustrated with your Smartphone

Finally discover how to get it to do what you want, easily (and find out what else you can do with it, too)

-

At last, using your smartphone can be easy, simple and stressfree. Find out how...

Modern mobile phones - smartphone­s as they’re called - can do so much more than just make phone calls.

From browsing the web wherever you are, checking train times, acting as a sat nav... And best of all they can make it so easy to keep in touch with family and friends – in so many ways, from sharing photos to making video calls.

But using them isn’t always as easy as you’d want - and that’s putting it mildly!

Do the manufactur­ers do it on purpose?

Sometimes it can seem like the manufactur­ers deliberate­ly make them

complicate­d - and how you do things is often hidden away. It might be easy once you know, but until you’ve been shown the easy way, it can drive you mad.

In fact only yesterday I was talking to someone whose Mum had got a new all-singing-all-dancing phone – but she couldn’t work out how to answer a phone call on it! She’s not daft - it’s just that it’s different from what she’d used before and the phone didn’t come with a manual telling her what to do.

Whether you have similar problems or you’re trying to do something slightly

more advanced, the thing is, it can be easy to use them... once you know how. But until you’ve been shown, it can be like talking a different language.

That’s why we’ve published these books: iPhones one Step at a Time, Android Phones One Step at a Time and

Doro Smartphone­s One Step at a Time.

Plain English... and that’s not

all

They explain how to use the phone, in plain simple language with pictures of

the screen showing you exactly where to tap or slide your fingers. No jargon!

What’s covered?

I can’t list it all here. But amongst other things, you’ll discover:

• The basics of controllin­g it – swiping, tapping, opening apps

and so on.

• How to use it as a sat-nav... in the car or even on foot.

• Send emails from your phone.

• Most phones have a good camera so you can take photos: here’s how to use it properly (and for videos).

• Share photos with friends around the world – quickly and easily.

• See updates, photos and video clips from friends and family – as

soon as they “post” them.

• Instant messaging and how to use it.

• Make it easier to read the screen.

• Video phone calls – a great way to keep up with family who live a long way away.

• Browse the web at home or out and about.

• Choosing and downloadin­g apps. And obviously, you can make phone calls and send and receive text messages. (“Voicemail” is covered, too)

All explained nice and simply. (Find out more in the free informatio­n pack – read on...)

What one reader had to say: “Thanks for a fantastic smart phone book. Very pleasant staff as usual.

I think this book should be sold with every smart phone. I have learnt so much from it, the info you get with the phone is non-existent.

Smart phones are quite complex, and your books speak in plain English.”
