iPhone Tip For Gaining More Space

Wondering if voice mails were actually stored on the phone, thus taking up memory space, I did some research.  I found that (1) yes they are, and they do take up space and (2) merely deleting them does NOT completely clear the space. You need to take one more step

Some users have gained massive space by deleting numerous voice mails.  Apparently the iPhone is supposed to automatically delete voice-mails after a certain period of time, but  you probably want to gain some extra disk space by doing it manually:

1.     Choose the Phone icon.

2.     Select the voice mail option icon on the bottom of the screen.

3.     Look the screen and you will notice something at the bottom, that I had never noticed before, and it is called “Deleted Messages.”

4.     Once you choose “deleted messages”  tap the “Clear All” choice to permanently delete the messages.  This will free up some space.

Thanks to this “about tech” link for that information:

Note, this morning I got a junk call to my cell phone.  There is a choice when you look at the recent phone numbers to "block all calls from this number".  Try it.
