FAQ - Frequently Asked
Questions
I can install Gizmo5, the Skype alternative on this
phone?
Yes, you can. Using the built-in Wi-Fi, simply point your Opera
mini browser to www.gizmo5.com. There you'll be prompted to download Gizmo for
your mobile. Once you click on the download, you'll be effortlessly guided in
the setup and installation of Gizmo5 on your Odyssey Wi-Fi phone. Using Gizmo5
you can chat and talk for free to other Gizmo5 users or talk to non-Gizmo users
at a much lower cost than your existing cellphone fees.
Does the phone come with a contract?
This phone is contract-free and fully unlocked so it can
work with any GSM service provider you choose.
Does the M56 come with an analog TV tuner?
Yes, watch TV and be happy with The Odyssey wifi phone.
Is this phone like the iPhone?
No, this phone is better than the iPhone!
Unlike the iPhone, the M56 comes fully unlocked and ready for use with any
network or carrier straight out of the box. You do not need to use any firmware
hacks and risk "bricking" the phone. The M56 also has dual SIM and video
recording functionality (unlike the iPhone).
Is this phone like the Chinese HiPhone, APhone, or
SciPhone?
No, this is better than all of them. Unlike
with other Chinese touchscreen phones, the M56 comes with a full 12-month
warranty from Chinavasion along with a professional in-house customer support
service. You can also be secure in the knowledge that your M56 has gone through
rigorous QC testing before it is shipped direct to you.
This phone has an accelerometer, what exactly is that?
This is a built-in motion sensor that tracks when the electronic
device has been tilted or swiveled. It is a feature most commonly used to change
images in a photo viewer or to change tracks in an audio player.
How long should I charge the battery before first
use?
Before you use the battery for the first time, please charge it
for 12 hours.
Should I load MP3's or WAV music files into my phone to
listen to?
It's a trade off really. With MP3's, you get lower audio
quality, but because of its small file size you can fit more into memory. With
WAV files, you get CD quality music, but on average, one WAV file is equivalent
in size to ten MP3 files.
Great to hear that the phone comes with 2 batteries.
What if I need more batteries, what should I do? Simply contact our
customer support department to order replacement accessories. Easy peasy.
How many contacts, can the phone hold?
The phone itself has the capacity to hold 800 contacts. SIM
cards usually hold 250 contacts. Since this phone can hold two SIM cards,
altogether you are looking at 1,300 contacts. That's a lot of friends!
Can I change the ringtone with this phone?
Definitely. The phone provides for many preset ringtones. Wonderful classics
like the Pachelbel Canon and music from Nintendo's Mario Kart video game series,
You can also load your own MP3s to act as ringtones or use the phone's sound
recorder to record your own voice or sounds as a ringtone.
I heard somewhere that I can record phone conversations
with this phone. How do I do that?
When a calls come in, you will
be presented with an option box. Press that key and a menu will appear. One of
the items on the menu will allow you bring up the sound recorder to tape the
entire conversation as a sound file for playblack at anytime.
How does the built-in answering machine
work?
From the main menu, select the ANSWER icon. You will be taken to
another menu that will allow you adjust settings like how long before the
answering machine picks up the call and how long your caller's message should
be. When an actual call comes through, the answering machine will save your
calls to the memory card and you can review them at anytime.
I hear that the phone has "In Call Background Noise".
What is that?
As far as sound effects go, if you use this feature - you
decide what background noise your caller hears when they're talking to you. You
can set the background noise so your caller thinks you're in a restaurant, in
the subway or a host of other settings. Perfect for the devious in all of
us.
