FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• 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.
