(Android or iPhone only). If you have a basic phone, you can skip this step.
- You can usually find this app with an icon of a receiver in your dock.

Tap the call icon

(Android and iPhone only). If you have a basic phone without a display screen, you might need to reverse the steps to press the green call icon first then dial the number to call.

This will interrupt the greeting and let you continue.
