The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use Samsung 210 mobile phones anywhere with silencing and airplane mode

Airplane mode allows you to use your Samsung M210 phones and F210 phones without transmitting a radio signal, so you can continue to use other work features while on an airplane. Press the menu, then settings, phone settings and airplane mode, and then choose 'on' or 'off' to enable or disable airplane mode. If you just need to disable the ringer on your phone for a meeting, press and hold '#' until a message appears that the phone is set to silent or use the volume setting on the side of the phone to select 'vibrate' or 'ringer off.'

Just press 'send' to hold an existing call and answer an incoming call; return to the original call and place the other on hold by pressing 'send' again. Disable call waiting on Samsung 210 cell phones by pressing '*70' before beginning a call. Lock your keypad to keep from making accidental calls by pressing and holding '*' and unlock by pressing the left soft key and holding '*' again.
