2.6 Straight Talk
Your device features Straight Talk™, a technology that integrates messaging, voice, and three-way calling.
With a dual microphone and speaker that enhance voice quality and reduce noise, Straight Talk turns your
device into a conference room speakerphone system.
Note For more information about three-way calling in CDMA mode, see “Making three-way calls in CDMA mode” later in
this chapter.
Making a call from a text message

The Phone screen then opens, with the sender’s phone number automatically filled in and ready to be
dialed. To place the call, tap Talk on the Phone screen or press TALK/SEND again.
Tapping a phone number that is displayed in the body of the text message also allows you to call that number.
