Entering alphanumeric characters
You can make a call by dialing a telephone number or by dialing a person’s alphanumeric address (for example, jdoe@domain.com). Alphanumeric dialing refers to the spelling of names or words by dialing alphabetic characters
For example, the 6 button on your numeric dialpad represents the letters "m,""n," and "o". You can cycle through the letters (and finally the actual number) by repeatedly pressing the number button. Names or words that have two adjacent letters that require the same button, such as in the name "nortel", are entered by entering the first character, briefly pausing, and entering the next letter.
To practice using alphanumeric dialing, follow the steps in Table 3 to spell the word “nortel".
