56 Using Phone Features
2.3 Smart Dial
Smart Dial makes it easy for you to dial a
phone number.
When you start entering a phone number
or contact name, Smart Dial 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 Dial 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”.
