Chapter 6: Using the Phone application
130 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Your handheld is equipped with an integrated speaker and microphone and
operates as a touch-tone phone does. You can use the automated functions that
are available to touch-tone phones on your handheld. The optional headset can
also be used with the handheld’s Phone application. If you choose to use the
headset with your handheld, insert the headset connector into the headset jack at
the top of your handheld before you use the Phone application.
The Phone screen displays the phone number of your handheld.
Placing phone calls
You can place phone calls if, in the handheld status section of the screen, GSM,
gprs, or GPRS and one or more bars appear with the wireless coverage indicator.
To place phone calls
1. On the Home screen, click the Phone icon. The Phone screen appears.
2. Begin typing the name of the contact whom you want to call. The Find screen
appears, listing all contacts that contain the letters that you have typed.
3. Select the name of your contact and click the trackwheel to view the menu.
Click Call.
Note: Depending on your service provider’s plan, the Phone application might not be
available on your handheld. Contact your service provider or network operator for more
information on available services.
To use certain features of the Phone application, such as call waiting, call forwarding,
call barring, and caller identification, you must subscribe to them. Contact your service
provider or network operator for more information.
