Dialing by contact name

You need to have names and numbers in your contact list before you can make a call by contact name or phone number. You can

add contacts directly into your Centro (see Adding a contact), but the fastest way to enter lots of contacts is to enter them in your desktop software and then synchronize to transfer them to your Centro (see Synchronizing information— the basics). You can also import contacts from your SIM card (see tips on Viewing your SIM Phonebook).

3Using the keyboard, start entering one of the following for the contact you want to call:

First name (JOH for John)

Last name (SMI for Smith)

First initial and last name (JSM for John Smith)

First few letters of first and last name (SM AN for Smilla Anderson)

For example, entering SM would display Smilla Anderson, John Smith, and Sally Martin. Entering JSM finds only John Smith.
