Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the sequence you have entered. Below are
some tips on how to use Smart Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call History.
• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number from the saved contacts on your
device.
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”.
Make a call or send a text message using Smart Dialing
1. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters.
2. In the Smart Dialing panel, browse the list by tapping the arrows
( / ), pressing NAVIGATION up or down, or rolling the Jog Wheel to select the desired contact or
phone number. When a contact is selected, it expands to also show the corresponding phone number.
3. The highlighted item will move one line when you press NAVIGATION up or down or roll the Jog Wheel;
the highlighted item will scroll one page when you tap the arrows.
4. Do one of the following:
• When the correct contact is selected, tap Talk or press the TALK button (
) to make a voice call.
• To call a different phone number associated with the selected contact, tap and hold the selected
contact, and tap the phone number you want to call.
