Making calls
Your smartphone offers several ways to make phone calls. Try them all
and you’ll discover which methods you prefer.
Dialing with the number pad
1. Go to your Today screen (see
“Accessing your Today screen”
on page 38).
2. Using the numbered keys on the
keyboard, enter a phone number.
3. Press Phone/Send to dial.
[ * ] NOTE You do not need to press
Option to access the numbers on the
keyboard. However, when dialing short numbers, such as 411, the
number may conflict with a contact name. If this occurs, press
Option to avoid starting a contact lookup. You can always dial 911
without pressing Option first.
Dialing by contact name
You can look up contacts quickly by entering just a few letters of a
contact’s name or phone number directly from your Today screen.
Before you can dial a call by contact name, you must create some
contacts (see “Adding a contact” on page 61) or import them by
synchronizing (see “Synchronizing contacts and other info” on
page 32).

is on (see “Turning
your phone on and
off” on page 11) and

coverage area.
