Special characters in phone numbers
You can use special characters to dial or save international
phone numbers as well as phone numbers of automated
services such as bank account information. When entering
numbers, press the key repeatedly to use these characters.
Keyguard (locking the keypad)
The Keyguard feature allows you to
“lock” your phone’s keypad so that
accidental keypresses have no effect.
This is handy when your phone is in a
pocket or purse.
Note: Keyguard is not a security feature and will not prevent
unauthorized use of your phone.
