Using Abbreviated Dialing
Abbreviated Dialing is similar to speed dialing. You can use
either of the following abbreviated dialing features.
ⅷ Ph.Book Match allows you to retrieve any desired number
saved in your Contacts by entering only the last three to
six digits of the number, and dials the retrieved number.
(See “To activate the Ph. Book Match feature:” on
page 68.)
ⅷ Prepend allows you to prepend predefined numbers
(first five or six digits) to the last four or five digits you
enter, and then dials the number. (See page 68 to
register a prepend number and activate the Prepend
feature.)
To place a call using Ph.Book Match Abbreviated Dialing:
1. Enter the last three to six digits of a Contact’s phone
number.
2. Press or . If there is more than one
matched number in your Contacts list, the Abbrev. Dial
list appears.
3. Select the name you want to call from the list, and then
press or to place a call.
Note:
Speed dialing is not available when you are roaming; when
you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you must
always dial using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

number is saved in Contacts (regardless of whether
Prepend is enabled or disabled), you can display the number
by entering its last three to six digits.
