Advanced calling features

• SELECT A PHONE NUMBER

Your service provider programs your phone number and system information into your phone’s memory when your phone is first activated. Your phone can hold up to three numbers. This means that your phone can be activated in three different service areas. For example, your phone could be activated in Dallas, Chicago, and New York. Each service area would assign a different phone number or account to your phone.

You must select a phone number for your home system. Only one phone number can be active at a time. If you travel outside your home system, you can choose another number. One phone number is usually enough if your service provider has service or roaming agreements for each area in which you wish to use your phone. Contact your service provider for details.

Note: Phone number selection is a network dependent feature. Some networks may not support more than one number. Contact your service provider for availability and full details.

Select the phone number

1Press Menu 4-6-6 (Settings > Network services > Own number selection).

2Scroll to the phone number you want and press Select.

Note: The first phone number on this list is selected. You need at least one active number to make calls. You cannot change from one phone number to another during a call.

• USE AUTOMATIC REDIAL

There are times when you may not be able to place a call (for example, due to the high volume of traffic on the wireless network). When the wireless network is busy or unavailable, Automatic redial instructs your phone to retry the call.

ACTIVATE AUTOMATIC REDIAL

1Press Menu 4-2-1 (Settings > Call settings > Automatic redial).

2Scroll to On and press Select.

If the system is busy, your phone makes three additional call attempts. If you want to stop the automatic redial process before the last attempt, press the End key or Quit.

Important: This feature does not automatically retry a number when the number you are calling is busy.

2260 specifications

The Nokia 2260 is a resilient and practical mobile phone that embodies the essence of classic mobile design, prioritizing functionality and user convenience over complex modern features. Launched during a period when mobile devices were primarily used for texting and calling, this model is an excellent example of Nokia’s commitment to producing reliable communication tools.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 2260 is its robust build quality. Constructed to withstand everyday wear and tear, the phone’s durable casing ensures it can handle the rigors of daily use, making it ideal for individuals who value reliability. The compact design allows for easy portability, fitting comfortably in a pocket or bag.

The user interface is straightforward, featuring a well-organized keypad with tactile buttons, which provides users with a satisfying typing experience for text messages and dialing. The large monochrome display, while not as advanced as contemporary smartphones, offers clear visibility for essential information and incoming calls.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 2260 supports basic GSM technology, providing dependable network access for voice calls and text messaging. It lacks the high-speed internet capabilities of modern smartphones, but its simplicity ensures users stay connected without distractions. The phone operates on a long-lasting battery, which is one of its most appreciated characteristics. Users can expect days of usage on a single charge, which is a significant advantage for those who often find themselves away from power sources.

Another notable aspect of the Nokia 2260 is its limited multimedia features, emphasizing voice calls and text messages. The device may come preloaded with a few simple ringtones and a basic contact management system, but it steers clear of the extensive apps and media functions found in today’s smartphones. This limitation is intentional, catering to users seeking a no-frills device.

In conclusion, the Nokia 2260 represents an era of mobile phones focused on essential communication without the distractions of advanced technology. Its sturdy construction, user-friendly interface, long battery life, and basic connectivity features make it an appealing choice for those who appreciate simplicity and reliability in their mobile devices. Whether for personal use or as a backup phone, the Nokia 2260 stands as a testament to Nokia’s legacy in the mobile industry.
