AT Command Set

8.29 AT^SPBG Read entry from active telephone book via sorted index

This command sorts the active phonebook records by name, in alphabetical order. Please note that the alphabetical order is assigned an index of its own which is not identical with the location num- bers used in the various phonebooks.

CAUTION: The AT^SBPG command is intended for reading only. For example, it helps you find en- tries starting with matching characters. However, do not use the listed index numbers to dial out or modify entries.

The AT^SPBG feature is able to sort by the first 6 matching characters only. All the following characters will be ignored.

1.First, run the Test command to find out the range of phonebook entries stored in the active phonebook:

AT^SPBG=?

TA returns the number of entries in the format: ^SPBG: (1-33),20,17 where 33 is the total number of entries.

2.Now, run the Execute command to display the phonebook entries by alpha- betical order. It is recommended to enter the full range to obtain best results.

AT^SPBG=1,33 TA returns phonebook entries by alphabetical order:

^SPBG: 1,"+999999",145,"Arthur"

^SPBG: 2,"+777777",145,"Bill"

^SPBG: 3,"+888888",145,"Charlie" .........

The numbers at the beginning of each line are not the memory locations in the phonebook, but only serial numbers assigned to the alphabetical list.
