Creating Your Own Phone Book

This chapter describes how you can store phone numbers both on your SIM Card and in your phone’s own memory.

The Phone Book

You can store phone numbers both on your SIM Card and in your phone’s own memory. The difference be- tween the two is that you can remove the SIM Card and use all those numbers in other phones, while the phone’s memory always stays the same no matter which SIM Card is inserted.

You can store up to 99 phone numbers in the phone memory. The number of phone numbers you can store on your SIM Card is SIM Card

dependent.

International Numbers

If you intend to use your phone book both at home and abroad, you should store all phone numbers as in- ternational phone numbers, i.e. with the international prefix + and the country code before the area code (without any leading zero) and the number.

•To enter the plus prefix, press and hold the zero un- til you see the plus in the display.

Speed Dialling

The phone numbers that your store in positions 1–9 on the SIM card can be called by entering the position

number and then pressing YES. You should, therefore, save positions for 1–9 for important numbers.

Storing Numbers on

SIM Card

1. Enter the phone number you wish to store.

2.Press the left arrow key until Store is shown and press YES twice.

3.Enter the first letter of the name by pressing the ap- propriate numeric key as many times as required (see Table 2 for all characters).

Enter the next letter when the cursor has moved to the next letter position. The number of letters the name can have is SIM card dependant.

4.Press YES when you have finished enter the name.

If you want to store the phone number in the storage position suggested in the display, go directly to step 5.

If you want to store the number in a different position, press CLR to erase the position number displayed and enter another number.

5.Press YES to confirm the position number. The dis- play shows Stored.

If you have selected a position number that is already occupied, Overwrite? Is displayed. Press YES to overwrite or NO to return to the position number and change it.

Storing Numbers in

Phone’s Memory

ng a phone number on the SIM card up to step 4.
When you are prompted to set a storage position,

press # once to enter ¤ character (which indicates stor- age in phone memory) and twice to have the phone suggesting the first free storage position.
