To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart Dialing will search for the letter
starting from the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space,
dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c]
on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George
Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the
same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be
narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
Tip You can also use the hardware keyboard to enter the name or number of the contact. Please note that the letters
assigned to numeric keys on the hardware keyboard is different from the onscreen keypad.
