Using Phone Features 57
To find a contact name or number
You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact.
Smart Dial will search for contact phone numbers and the first character
of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space,
dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2”
on the phone keypad, which is associated with [a, b, and c] on the Phone
keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches:
“Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”,
“Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further,
enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to
tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed
down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”,
“Dixon, Allan”.
