Making a Phone Call from the Home Screen

On the Home screen, you can call someone by entering a phone number or a contact name using the keypad.

As you begin pressing keys, your Smartphone displays the names from your Contacts and recent call list whose name or phone number match your entry. You can then select the name or number to call without having to enter the entire name or number.

Contacts appear on the Home screen with this icon and a contact list abbreviation. You can view all the contact list abbreviations for all the numbers stored in this contact by scrolling to the name and then scrolling left and right. The phone call is made to the phone number associated with the contact list abbreviation that is showing when you press s.

Note: For more information about contact list abbreviations, see “Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks” on page 60.
