You need to make and receive calls. Call yourself and practice answering until you understand it. Then lock the phone, and figure out how to make a call (hint: unlock it). Generally everything you need to worry about is in the phone icon. The phone icon can probably get you to where you save contacts.

Just focus on these things and you'll be fine. You should put some sort of pun number on it too, but that's more advanced.
