Making a Phone Call
There are several ways to make a phone call. This section describes how to make a call
from the following locations:
• The Home screen
• Contacts
• The list of recently dialed phone numbers
• The recent calls list
• An e-mail message
This section also covers how to make emergency calls.
Making a Phone Call from the Home Screen
On the Home screen, you can call someone by entering a phone number or a contact
name using the keypad.
As you begin pressing keys, your Smartphone displays the names from your Contacts
and recent call list whose name or phone number match your entry. You can then select
the name or number to call without having to enter the entire name or number.
Contacts appear on the Home screen with this icon and a contact list abbreviation.
You can view all the contact list abbreviations for all the numbers stored in this contact by
scrolling to the name and then scrolling left and right. The phone call is made to the
phone number associated with the contact list abbreviation that is showing when you
press s.
Note: For more information about contact list abbreviations, see “Contacts, Calendar,
and Tasks” on page 101.
