How do I return missed call?

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 07:59:06 GMT

On my Galaxy Y I missed a call whilst using the phone. O2 (I assume 🙂 kindly texted me imforming me I had missed this call which was from someone not in my contacts list. I could not find any way to return the call without separately making a note of the number and re-dialing it. If I selected the missed call in the history listing I just got the message and no apparant option to dial it?

I assume I am missing something!

Click the log entry in missed calls and it will bring up another screen which should have a green phone handset symbol. Press the symbol to dial or in the text you received hold the number which will bring up more options, one of which is to dial the number.

Thanks again for your responses. I cannot find a missed calls log, in my phone area ia Contacts, Groups, History, Activities. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks.

If I remember correctly you are running Gingerbread 2.3.6? It's been a long time since I was using a phone with that software so I'm trying to guess/remember..... I think History maybe the tab you need as this should list the recent calls, texts etc that you have sent and received. If not, I'll try a dig an old phone out later and have a better look for you.....

Yes history lists all calls and texts made and missed calls. The one in question is listed as a received text but not as a missed call. Perhaps there is no way to do what I expect. Kies says I am on the latets firmware release for this phone?

Just a thought...the PHONE never got the call as the 'exchange' knew the phone was busy! I just got a message saying it was missed so again perhaps I am expecting too much!

OK, so what happens when you tap the call in question on the list. It "should" open the text and then if you long press on the number in the text it "should" bring up more options......If the phone didn't ring with that number it won't appear as a call log. If you are on contract you can turn on "call waiting" in settings which will alert you if you have a call coming in whilst on another call and also show the call in the log.

Ok, I deleted the message so I will have to 'create' another one later today and test your theory. Thanks for your help.

phone history should tell you missed calls

just a thought but your missed call text could be a spam, e.g. marketers looking for active numbers

I have had a few recently with that wording or with "your friend has no credit to call you so call them back +44XXXXXXXX"

if someone who has your number legitimately is trying to get hold of you they usually will

you make me feel very out-of-date MI5 & yet I love my Ace 2 running GB2.3.6!!

I know I don't have ICS or JB yet, but from what I've read I'm not missing a great deal! Maybe I'm wrong.
