The Set Default Photos screen lets you assign, unassign, and preview default Photo IDs to appear for these three situations:

Unknown photo

This photo will display whenever the phone number of the incoming call

 

is not known to Caller ID because no phone number was “passed in” to

 

your T-Mobile MDA III. This would occur if the person calling you has

 

blocked their phone number from being displayed to the receiver, or has

 

not enabled the broadcast of their Caller ID.

Not-found photo

This option in the Set Default Photos screen lets you assign a generic

 

Photo ID to any incoming call from a person whose number is not found in

 

your Contacts. That is, the phone number of the incoming call is known,

 

but has no matching entry in your Contacts.

Default photo

This photo will display when the incoming call is found to be from a

 

matching entry in your Contacts database, but so far there is no individu-

 

ally-assigned Photo ID for either that individual Contact entry, or for the

 

Group it belongs to.

1.To select Set Default Photos, tap Tools > then select Set Default Photos.

2.Check a circle next to one of the categories, then tap Assign.
