2.3 Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing makes it easy for you to
dial a phone number.
When you start entering a phone
number or contact name, Smart Dialing
automatically searches and sorts the
contact entries on the SIM card, in
Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call
History (including incoming, outgoing,
and missed calls). You can then select
the desired number or contact from the
filtered list to dial.

To find a contact name or number
You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dialing
will search for contact phone numbers and 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” on the phone keypad, which
is associated with [a, b, and 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”.
