Make calls
To make a call on the OnePlus smartphone, we simply open the pre-installed phone app and decide whether to select a stored contact or enter a phone number using the dial pad.
Note: When using Dual SIM, we will be asked from which SIM card to call from and whether this selection should be saved for the corresponding contact.





- Open the Phone app
- Tap on Contacts or Dial pad
- Enter a phone number
- Tap on the green phone icon
- Choose a SIM card (Dual SIM)
Answer incoming call
When getting a call on the OnePlus smartphone, we are informed, in addition to the ring tone and vibration, by a preview that takes up the entire display of the device.
If the caller is saved as a contact, the corresponding or saved contact name is displayed next to the phone number.
To accept an incoming call on the OnePlus device, we tap and hold the green handset icon and drag it upwards.



- Tap and hold the green handset icon
- Drag the green handset icon upwards
- Release the green handset icon to answer the call
Reject an incoming call
Besides the method of rejecting an incoming call on the OnePlus smartphone with a short answer, we can also reject it directly by tapping and holding the handset icon and dragging it down.
In this case, no SMS message is sent, but the selected call diversion to a mailbox, for example, is active.
Note: Depending on the provider or network provider settings, the caller will only be informed that the subscriber is currently unavailable.



- Tap and hold the green handset icon
- Drag the green handset icon downwards
- Release the red handset icon to reject the call
Reject call with quick response
If we receive a call at an inconvenient moment, such as a meeting, we can reject the caller with a short SMS message and inform them that we will call back in a few minutes or later, for example.
After selecting the desired message, the caller is immediately rejected and an appropriate SMS message is automatically sent from the OnePlus smartphone.


- Tap on Reply
- Choose a quick response to reject the call and send a message
Flip to silence incoming calls
We can mute an incoming call by flipping the OnePlus smartphone, disabling the ring tone and vibration of the notification.
The feature must first be enabled in the phone app's advanced settings, which can be done at any time.





- Open the Phone app
- Open the menu
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Advanced
- Enable or disable Flip To Silence
