Contact calling on the Samsung Gusto 2

I recently started using a Samsung Gusto 2.  This replaced my old Samsung phone which had the feature that if I dialed the first three letters of a person's name and pressed the Up directional key, I could select from a list of my contacts that matched.  I can't see how to activate this feature on the new phone.  Or did Samsung eliminate this excellent feature?

sucks

  • I have a samsung gusto flip phone is it possible to view the web history?

    as stated above

        Hey there jsieber,
    The Samsung Gusto is a great phone. I understand the importance of viewing the history so you can refer back to websites that were previously visited. At this time the Samsung Gusto does not display your browsing history. It will save it in your temporary internet files so the next time you visit that site it will load faster, but there is no way to view a list of previous URL's listed. It also stores this information so the next time you start to type in a particular URL it will automatically pop up instead of you having to enter in the entire URL.
    If you come upon a website you like and think it is one that you could frequently visit you can always add it to your favorites,http://vz.to/1lIjndm.
    If you are looking to clear your browsing history you can follow these steps,http://vz.to/1ecQAWp.
    Let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Samsung Gusto

    Is anyone else having problems with the samsung gusto? i'm on my third one now.  the phone keeps locking up and resetting on its own.  it also doesnt ring for incoming calls from time to time and the call goes straight to voice mail and no missed call shows up.

    I'm surprised the Verizon employee said this isn't common for this phone.  Within a few weeks after buying this phone, it started locking up whenever we tried to send a text to more than 1 contact.  After a few days, it would reboot under the same conditions instead of locking up.  We got a new phone last night and the first time we tried to send a text message, it rebooted.  Sometimes it sent the text okay, other times it locked up or rebooted.  It worked about 50% of the time. 
    We went back to the store today and the tech said the memory was low because we had too many pictures on it.  He refused to tell me how much memory the phone holds/needs or how to find that on the phone.  When I got home, I figured out how to check the memory.  It turns out the phone holds 32MB, we were using 7MB.  Other than 80 pictures we added (total of 3MB of our pictures plus the pictures it came with) and 19 contacts, there was no extra memory usage on our part, that is, all other info on the phone is what it came with.  I don't believe the tech guy because he was mad at having to transfer our pictures from the old phone to the new one the night before.  I think he decided to blame the pictures because he didn't want to transfer them again to a new phone.  Just a nasty attitude from this guy from beginning to end.
    So we will be removing all of our own pictures and see what happens.  I fully expect this phone to continue with the problems.   Then I'll have to be on my 3rd phone since January.
    BTW- we haven't had the problem of phone call problems you mentioned.  But we using the texting more than the calls.

  • Samsung Gusto 2 Prepaid

    I was just wondering how many others using the Verizon Prepaid service with the Samsung Gusto 2 have experienced their minutes just suddenly disappearing?
    I bought the phone on August 17, 2012 and it came with a $10 worth of  minutes. I added a $30 card on Oct. 3 2012  that was supposed to be good for 120 minutes and 3 months. I signed up with the 25 cents per minute plan because I do not use it that often. I received a text message from Verizon telling my my account was low. I go online and checked and found that I now have "0" minutes left.
    My online account shows that I've only used 3 or four minutes during the time I've had the phone. So what happened to my time and money?
    An update: I spoke with customer service on the phone and they said they have no record of my adding a $30 card. When I entered the card # I checked my balance via my phone and it showed that it had credited my account, I also received a text message from Verizon informing me that I had added the additional time and minutes. Unfortunately I threw the card away after entering it and deleted the text messages. I didn't see the point in keeping them, but I do now.
    I suppose that Verizon could wipe out everyone's time/minutes and simply claim that you never added any extra time. I would suggest to everyone who reads this to save your cards and write on them the date and rime you added it and keep your confirmation text messages. I have no doubt that there is a problem with Verizon's tracking system in regards to managing or keeping up with their customer's minutes.
    All I can say is that I am glad that I did not throw away my tracfone. My minutes roll over and every time I add a card the end time increases. You're never limited to just 30-60-90 days. Also, the time remaining and the end date are always displayed on the phone's screen. The book that came with my Verizon phone said that I could display this information on my Gusto 2 by going to Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Balance Display and highlighting the desired setting -> Show or Hide. Only problem is that I do not have a "Balance Display" option under "Display".

    If you have a computer or know someone who does you can go to MyVerizon.com and sign up and you will beable to display the time you used for texting or calling and when your $30.00 balance was added.  https://nbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/prepay/PrepayPhone.action - then put your 10 digit cell number , then your password, then click on Overview, then Continue, then Balance Details that will show you all your balance for texts and cell calls and when money was added to your account.

  • IPhone doesn't recognise contact calling without country prefix

    All my contacts are saved with the country code prefix so that when I travel internationally I can dial my contacts directly. However, when I receive a call from one of my contacts calling without the country code prefix, the iPhone doesn't recognise the contact as the number calling. The only way it works is when I save the contact twice - once with and then without the country code prefix. Is there a fix for this?

    You need to change your region settings accordingly in order to make this work. Numbers that do not work within the set region without the country code will be a headache. Why not put everyone with the right prefix? That way you won't have to worry about any of this ever again...
    Here's what happens when you change region on a number that's not prefixed correctly:
    For example, Austria is +43
    05-1717 is the customer service hotline for the train network.
    Now, if you have some other region set, like America for example, calling 05-1717 will go out as +1 057 171 7 and will error out accordingly.
    For contacts and messaging:
    Lets say their number is  +41 76 593 65 00
    But you have it saved as 076 593 65 00
    The region set is America:
    So +1 is implied, and being that that number is Swiss, your phone will not recognize it as the same person.
    Because it sees the number as +1 076 593 6500.

  • How do I search all Contacts fields in the Q5 with OS10.2?

    Blackberry appear to be advancing backwards with their new Q5 and 10.2 operating system. I originally bought the Blackberry specifically for its ability to search into the notes field of email contacts, which no other phone could do at the time. When the operating system was "upgraded" to OS7 I was disappointed to find out that the Blackberry Search was no longer able to access the Contacts Notes field. But then I discovered the "OldSearch" app. This app replicated the old search functionality and I have been using it on my 9790 quite happily for the past two years. However, when the time came to renew my contract this year I made the BIG MISTAKE of assuming that the Q5 with its OS 10.2 would be a big step forward. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Once again the Blackberry search function could not search the notes field of Contacts but, worst of all, OldSearch cannot run on OS 10.2. After four days trying to persevere with the new menu format and combined with the search problem I decided to give up and hand the Q5 back. I have subsequently found out that most cell phones now have the facility to search into the Contacts notes, including the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone. So, reluctantly, I say bye-bye Blackberry, hello Samsung S4.

    So, you're not really asking how to search contacts notes on the device. You just came to tell us you switched to to the S4.
    Good luck!

  • Need simple instructions on transfering photos from Samsung Gusto phone to computer.

    Need simple instructions on transferring photos from Samsung Gusto phone to my PC.

        smcolvin, happy to help with getting those pictures transferred. As the Samsung Gusto does not have the mass storage functionality, this requires a out of the box solution. You can send the pictures as a picture message and place your email address in the "to" field. Open your email inbox on your computer, open the messages and then download the images to the computer (usually right click and "save as").
    Alternatively, you can send the pictures to the online album and access them there. To send to the online album from your phone, press the left soft key. Message>New Message>Picture message. At the "New Picture Msg" screen, press the Right Soft Key and add "To Online Album." Select "Send." On your computer launch your web browser and log into MyVerizon at verizonwireless.com and then go to vzwpix.com .

  • Samsung Gusto - can't read full texts!

    Hi, I bought the samsung gusto yesterday and after putting money on it and everything I found that I could not receive full texts! My boyfriend would send me a long text and only about three words or so appear on the phone. There's nothing to scroll of anything. When I received texts about signing up for a My Verizon account, however, the full text came in. Any reason why?
    His phone is a blackberry and I recieved his texts great on my blackberry, so I don't think its a problem on his end.
    Thanks!

        Hey there wilcyn92,
    Texting is how I mainly communicate with others, so I'd be just as concerned if mine wasn't working correctly.
    That is odd that you're not receiving full texts.  Is the problem just with your boyfriend or other users as well?
    If you are continuing to have issues, please reach out to our prepaid department at (888) 294-6804.

  • Samsung Gusto 2 Battery Charge Alert

    How do I turn off the battery charge alert sound on the Samsung Gusto 2?  Like most folks, I charge the phone overnight and when it is fully charged, the alert sound wakes me.  I have to have the phone near me with sounds on so turning off all sounds is not an option for me nor should it have to be.  I found directions for the original Gusto but the Gusto 2 doesn't seem to have any way to turn it off.  That's insane - am I guaranteed no complete night's sleep as long as I own this phone?
    Thanks in advance.

        Sorry about that Darth_Emma!
    Let's try this instead: http://vz.to/12H0D4f specifically for the Gusto 2.
    If you're still not seeing the option, what software version are you running? Learn how to check here http://vz.to/110lMoR

  • Samsung Gusto 'forgets' the voicemail number

    My wifes Samsung Gusto has forgot the pre-programmed voicemail number for second time. This prevents holding down 1 to get into voicemail. The first time it happened I contacted customer service, but it is late now. Does anyone know where in the settings to re-set thi up?
    Thanks!

    Go to your contact list, and find Voicemail. That should be set to *86. (Or you can set it to your full 10 digit phone number, and voicemail can be dialed with the speed dial key wherever you happen to be). Then from there, or from your speed dial list, set 1 to your Voicemail contact.
    HTH,

  • Samsung Gusto: Three-way or conference calling?

    I have a Samsung Gusto prepaid phone on Verizon. What I want to know is, is it possible to initiate three-way or conference calling from this particular phone? And if so, how do I go about doing that?
    Thank you.
    Brandon Taylor

    I don't know for sure if it is possible, but here's how to do it if it is:
    Call the first person. Then hit the send button again (this puts the first person on "hold") and call the second person. When you are connected to person #2, hit send again, and this should connect all three of you, if you have 3-way calling enabled.  Be aware that you, as the initiator of the call, will have twice the minutes taken out of your account for the duration of the call, as you are connected to two different calls at the same time.
    You can also look into http://www.instantconference.com/ or http://www.freeconferencecall.com/index.asp for more robust conference call options.

  • I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

    I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

    You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.
