mobiles provided by RM ?
According to the new Code of Business Standards booklet that arrived today it states on page 37
"We provide Computers, mobile phones and a range of equipment as work tools for many of our people."
As I don't use my mobile at work as its PAYG , can I ask for one for my round ??

Re: mobiles provided by RM ?
you press the phone button, then go into the phone book, select the helpdesk number, it takes you through to an options menu, press the one about speaking to your office, it will then ask you your six digit office code, its the one your supposed to check when your logging into the pda, type that it and it will call your officeeastie wrote:asked my DOM about using the PDA to ring the office and he said you couldn'tzx135 wrote:use your PDA if you need to contact your officeeastie wrote:According to the new Code of Business Standards booklet that arrived today it states on page 37

Re: mobiles provided by RM ?
no we were never trained how to use the phone facility
Plus what is this 6 digit number you refer to??
We just put our name in and put my personal 4 digit password in to use it and scan the barcode stuck to the side of my frame

our training was for 5 minutes showing us how to log on and to scan a recorded item, if we weren't told about any other of the functions how are we to know.zx135 wrote:I ll bet you signed to say you got the training though :)

Idiot's guide to using phone on PDA's
Press phone (green Icon on left side)
PDA Directory (press) it will tell you that this call will be charged etc, etc
Listen for PROMPT: MC,DO,HUB, Breakdown etc, press appropiate number
Enter the I D Number for YOUR DO,MC,HUB etc (ie 000123)
Connects you to the place you want
IIRC...

What manager?, What training? What signed for training?
PDA given to us and get on with it. No manual, no idiots guide, nothing.
