The Wonder Phone is a flip phone, so the screen and the buttons are separate. The top half is the touchscreen; the bottom half is the physical keypad. Both work together — you can use the keypad to drive everything, or tap the screen, or mix the two however feels natural.
Above the keypad
Just below the screen, in a row at the top of the keypad:
- Two soft keys — one on the left, one on the right (look like rectangles with a horizontal bar). They have no fixed job. They only do something when the screen above each key shows a label or icon for them. For example, if you see a Message icon or the word "Message" right above the left soft key, pressing it goes to Messages — otherwise pressing it does nothing. Whatever the screen shows above each soft key is what that key does in that moment.
- Back arrow (left of the D-pad) — goes back one screen.
- D-pad (the round ring in the center) — press up, down, left, or right to move between items. The black button in the very middle of the ring is select (or "OK" / "enter").
- 3-dot menu (right of the D-pad) — opens the menu for whatever screen you're on (extra options, recent calls, settings for that app, etc.).
Call row
The three biggest buttons right under the D-pad area. Each one has one job, and the same job no matter where you are on the phone — that's the design:
- 🟢 Green phone (left) — always opens the Call screen / dialer, no matter what else you're doing. Also answers an incoming call.
- ⬛ Home (center, the square) — always goes back to the home screen from anywhere on the phone. This is your reliable "get me out of here" button.
- 🔴 Red phone (right) — ends the current call (or rejects an incoming one). It does not take you to the home screen — that's what the Home button is for. If you're used to other phones where the red button doubles as home, this is the one habit to unlearn on the Wonder Phone: end the call with red, then press Home to get back to the home screen.
Number keypad (with Hebrew letters)
The number keypad runs from 1 through 9, then * 0 #. Each key has both English letters and Hebrew letters, so you can type in either language without changing keyboards:
- 1 — microphone icon (🎤). Tap to start speech-to-text dictation.
- 2 — abc / דהו
- 3 — def / אבג
- 4 — ghi / מנ
- 5 — jkl / יכל
- 6 — mno / זחט
- 7 — pqrs / רשת
- 8 — tuv / צק
- 9 — wxyz / סעפ
- * — + input (use this for special characters like @, %, parentheses)
- 0 — ↑ Lang (language toggle — switches the keyboard between English and Hebrew letters)
- # — ↵ space / enter
Useful shortcuts at a glance
- Long-press 1 — voicemail (on lines that have voicemail set up)
- Tap 1 (with microphone) — speech-to-text input on text fields
- Hold 0 — switch keyboard language quickly
- Hold the # key — usually toggles between letters and numbers in text fields
- Long-press the # key (on home screen) — toggles between ring, vibrate, and silent (added in WonderOS 1.6)
Touchscreen + keypad
Anything you can do with the keypad you can also do on the touchscreen — tap, swipe, scroll. The keypad is great when you want to type without taking your eyes off the screen, or when the screen is asleep and you want to dial without unlocking first.
