Make calls

When the device is locked, calls still may be possible to the official emergency number programmed into your device.

In the offline profile, you may need to enter the lock code and change the device to a calling profile before making any call, including a call to an emergency number.

To make and receive calls, the device must be switched on, the device must have a valid SIM card installed, and you must be located in a service area of the cellular network. The GPRS connection is put on hold during voice calls unless the network supports dual transfer mode or you have a USIM card and are within the coverage of a UMTS network.

Enter the phone number, including the area code, and press the call key. If you enter an incorrect character, press the backspace key.

Tip: For international calls, enter the +

character that replaces the international access code, and enter the country code, area code (omit the leading 0, if necessary), and phone number.

To end the call or cancel the call attempt, press the end key.

To make a call using the saved contacts, press Contacts in standby mode. Enter the first letters of the name, scroll to the name, and press the call key. See "Contacts," p. 54.

Press the call key to view up to 20 numbers that you last called or attempted to call. Scroll to the desired number or name, and press the call key to dial the number. See "Log," p. 46.

Use the volume keys to adjust the volume of an active call.

When you open the cover of the device during a call, the loudspeaker is activated.

To call your voice mailbox (network service) in standby mode, press and hold 1, or press 1 then the call key.
