These symbols, added to the telephone number you dial, tell iZone where to go to find the info you require. Once you've dialled the main number you can get more info by sending iZone the number of the next menu you require, eg. (ANSWER) 5 (SEND) to get to 'GoingOut' and then (ANSWER) 2 (SEND) to get to 'movie' schedules. Through dial can get you to a menu directly for example dial *120*500*4*2# to go to movie schedules.

2. Store an iZone entry in your phone book

Any number that you can dial direct you can also store in your phone book, eg. *120*500*4*2# can be stored under 'movies'. Now by searching under "M" you can directly access the movie schedules.

3. Short-Dial

It gets even better, you can store the 'movie' schedules, or any other access number, under a Short-Dial key so that you can access 'movies' directly by pressing the relevant Short-Dial key for a few seconds.

4. Direct-Dial

Any iZone number that is not marked by an arrow (>) can be dialled directly, eg. *120*66843# = *120*movie# takes you to the 'movie' schedules without going through iZone. Through-Dial can also be used here, eg. *120*66843*1# will get you directly into Ster Kinekor.

5. Quick access from your phone book

If you run out of Short-Dial keys or you cannot remember them, here is another neat trick if you store a number under 'sport' in your phonebook and you enter a digit in front of the name you stored the entry under eg. "8 sport" your phone stores this number last in your phone list, by using the up or down scrolling keys you now have easy access to any entry stored in this way.

6. > Marked entries in iZone

As we said any item marked by an arrow (>) cannot be directly dialled and has to be accessed through iZone. Keep an eye on this, because we are improving iZone all the time and items which cannot be dialled directly now will be accessible through Direct-Dial in the future.

7. Alpha versus Numeric mode

Different phone models either default to Alpha or to Numeric mode, this is a matter of getting use to, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this.

8. Same screen displays more than once

iZone needs certain input to find exactly what you are looking for. If you get the same menu after selecting an option, you have sent invalid input. Remember not to enter text where numeric input is requested and vice versa.

9. The system picks-up after invalid termination

We've designed features into iZone that if a session is terminated incorrectly, dropped, or you need more time to get to the info (timeout), iZone will restart where you left off, pretty neat isn't it?

10. iZone remembers your preferences

If you use the 'movie' or 'mall' feature which requires location input, iZone automatically remembers the last location you searched under and will default to that location next time you use it.

11. Triggers and reminders

There are applications such as 'movie', SABC or Forex that allow you to set triggers or reminders, the application itself will indicate when these options are available.

12. Live scores

When we offer 'live scores' under a sporting event the info is dynamic which means that we update the screen as the games are coming into our system. Keep an eye on the various sporting events since info will be updated on an hourly basis.
