Chapter 2
Phone Calls
2.1Making Calls
To make a call, you can either dial a number or select a contact you want to call. While viewing a message that you received, you can also directly call the sender of the message if the sender’s phone number is stored in your contacts.
Before you begin making calls, add contacts to your phone by creating new contacts or synchronizing contacts to your phone. For more information about adding contacts, see “Adding Contacts to Your Phone” in Chapter 4.
Note Most SIM cards are preset with a PIN (personal identification number) that is provided by your mobile operator. When prompted, enter the preset PIN and then tap Enter. If you enter the wrong PIN three times, the SIM card is blocked. If this happens, you can unblock it with the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) obtained from your mobile operator.
Making a call from the Phone dialer screen
The Phone dialer’s Smart Dial feature makes it quick and easy for you to place a call. Simply enter the phone number or first few letters of the person you want to call. Smart Dial automatically searches and filters your contacts list (stored on your phone and SIM card) and the phone numbers from the Call History. From the filtered list, select the number or contact you want to call.
