What are the top 10 tips & tricks for Peek?

#1  Moving the cursor. Hold down the Shift key while moving the Scroll Wheel to move your cursor left and right while composing a message — a big help when it comes to typos.

#2  Top & Bottom. It’s a snap to move to the top or bottom of your inbox. Just press the letter T or B while in your Inbox screen. This also works on email messages in newer software versions.

#3  Downloading contacts. If you have a Hotmail, Gmail, AOL or Yahoo account, all you have to do is select “Contacts” from the menu and hit “Download Contacts.” Your email contacts will be downloaded instantly, so next time you’re composing an email and start typing a friend’s name, it will autofill for you.

#4  Text messaging. If you have a Peek Pronto, you can text message anyone by simply typing their 10-digit cell phone number in the “To:” field of an email message. Your friend can reply from their phone and you’ll receive the text reply on your Peek.

#5  Adding email accounts. You can connect up to 5 email addresses to Peek Pronto and 2 to Peek Classic. It’s simple, go to the menu and select Peek Manager –> Email Accounts –> Add account. Takes just a minute.

#6  Re-adding the email account to avoid old mail. If your Peek has been turned off for awhile (like between trips, or just on a long flight) and you don’t want it to download a ton of old email, you can remove and re-add your Email Account. Go to Peek Manager –> Email Accounts –> delete the account and then re-add it. This will clean the slate and you’ll only get new mails going forward.

#7  AskPeek Services. Free email information service from Peek. Just type your zip or city & state in the subject line of an email and send it to one of AskPeek’s addresses: weather@askpeek.com, traffic@askpeek.com, news@askpeek.com, maps@askpeek.com. You’ll get an email back instantly with the info you want!

#8  Pronto Upgrade. Want to support more email accounts and have unlimited text? Check your SW Version and either give us a call at 1-877-677-7335 to get the upgrade or get an upgrade cable and do it yourself – it’s fast and easy.

#9  Annual Savings Plan. If saving money is a priority, you can pay $180 up-front for an entire year of unlimited email & texting. That equals to just $15 a month! Call 877-677-7335 to arrange this.

#10  When in doubt, Power Cycle. Just like rebooting a computer, turning your Peek off, then on again is sometimes the easiest way to regain a lost signal or snap out of a receiving delay. If you ever get really stuck, just call us at 877-677-7335 for help, email care@getpeek.com or search the discussion boards.

Happy Peeking!
