Dialing by contact name
You need to have names and numbers in
your contact list before you can make a call
by contact name. You can add contacts
directly into your smartphone (see Adding a
contact), but the fastest way to enter lots
of contacts is to enter them in your
desktop software and then synchronize to
transfer them to your smartphone (see
Synchronizing information—the basics
).
You can also import contacts from your
SIM card (see tip on Viewing your SIM
Phonebook).
1 Press Phone .
2 Select the Contacts tab.
3 Using the keyboard, just start entering
one of the following for the contact you
want to call:
• First name (JOH for John)
• Last name (SMI for Smith)
• First initial and last name (JSM for
John Smith)
For example, entering SM would display
Smilla Anderson, John Smith, and
Sally Martin. Entering JSM finds only
John Smith.
TIP After you enter a phone number, you can
also press Center on the 5-way to select
whether you want to make a phone call or
send a text message to that number.
