Hi,

One stupid question;

I have a sim-card in my Booklet for internet browsing. When

somebody sends a textmessage to the sims number, I will have it via

Nokia Social Hub. But if somebody calls, this great machine will not

react at all.

Is it possible to answer to a phonecall coming to the number of the 

sim-card you have inside your Booklet?

Thanks,

vvaino

The 3G modules used in the Booklet 3G do not support voice calls - I think in hardware (not just drivers). So unfortunately you can't answer voice calls (or even see missed calls) using your Booklet 3G. I would suggest using call divert to send all calls to voicemail before using your SIM in the Booklet. Hope this helps. - Miles.

Get Google Voice account, then either use that as your default Voicemail for your phone or forward your phone to your Google Voice number prior to using the Sim in the Booklet.  You can then setup Google Voice to ring your Gmail account assuming you have gmail open in your browser on the Booklet.

It works.

I am sure there is a voice interface in the Option 382, you can enable/disable it in TeraTerm like you do it for GPS, for example (check the documents for the Option 382 on the Option website).

Mine is enabled though, and the latest driver is installed, too. But no indication of incoming call or any other visible activity whatsoever.

So I would assume it's driver that doesn't expose the interface to OS. Maybe 3rd party software is required to make it work? I don't know that.

Supplying a phone headset with the netbook of THE phone manufacturer, sporting a built-in SIM slot and module that can do GSM (at least of the SMS texting variety), seems to be kind of nonsensical if the user has to wait for getting near an accessible WLAN to actually use it. Don't expect people talking to Booklets on their shoulder boombox-style (a/k/a like "ghettoblasters") for extended times of course, but ever so often one would like to just make or answer that one odd voice call without having an additional phone around on the same network, and there is no good reason not to allow it as many a mobile carrier's not-just-data plans do include (albeit expensive) voice calls these days.
