Smart Dialing is a program that makes it easy for you to dial a phone number. When you start entering numbers or characters, Smart Dialing will automatically search and sort the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list to dial.
