CHAPTER
Dialing by contact name
You can look up contacts quickly by
entering just a few letters of a contact’s
name directly from your Today screen.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Before you can dial a
number by contact name, you must create
some contacts (see A
dding a contact,) or
import them by synchronizing (see Defining
speed-dial buttons).
Make sure your phone is on and that you’re
inside a coverage area (see Turning your
phone on).
1 Go to your Today screen.
2 Using the keyboard, begin entering one
of the following for the contact you
want to call:
• First name (JOH for John)
• Last name (SMI for Smith)
• First initial, a space, and then last
initial (J S for John Smith)
• First name and last name
(JOH SMI for John Smith)
For example, entering SM finds both
Smilla Anderson and John Smith.
Entering SMA finds only Smilla
Anderson.
To clear the Dial Lookup field and start
another Contacts search, press OK. To
delete letters when correcting a
misspelled name, press Backspace.
TIP
You can hide your speed-dial buttons on
your Today Screen and still use your Quick
Keys to call a speed-dial number.
