The same as with a standard mobile phone, you can use your device’s phone to make, receive, keep track of calls, and send
text messages.
This section will show you how to use the phone features of your device.
Displaying Your Phone Number
In case you forget what your phone number is, you can check your number from the Phone screen.
1. Press the Talk key to display the Phone screen.
2. Tap Menu > My Phone Number. (Your phone number and account information will be displayed.)
Making Calls from the Phone Screen
The Phone program’s Smart Dial feature makes it easy for you to call a phone number or contact. When you
start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dial automatically searches and sorts the contact
entries in Contacts and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls).
You can then select the desired number or contact to call from the filtered list.
You can enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will search for contact phone
numbers and 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 , which is associated with [a, b, and c]
on the Phone keypad, contact names such as “
Ben Miller,” “George Adams,” “John-Carter,” “Carter, Ellen,”
“Dixon,
Allan,” “Thomas_Clark,” “JaneCampbell” would appear as matches.
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.”
