Sprint Nextel 800w Setting Your Abbreviated Dialing Preferences, Using the Phone Features 103

Setting Your Abbreviated Dialing Preferences

Abbreviated dialing lets you simulate dialing numbers from your office’s phone system, so that you can dial an extension number rather than the complete number.

For example, if your co-worker’s phone number is 1-555-222-1234, you may need to dial only the last five digits when you’re using a phone that’s part of your company’s phone system. In that case, you would dial 21234. If your co-worker’s phone number appears as 21234 in your contact list or corporate Global Address List (GAL), your Treo can dial that number once you configure abbreviated dialing settings to complete shortened numbers, so that you don’t need to modify your office phone list.

For example, if all the phone numbers in your office begin with 1-555-22, followed by a five-digit extension, set your Treo to automatically enter 1-555-22 as the prefix before any five-digit number. When you dial your co-worker’s five-digit extension, your device automatically dials 1-555-22 plus the 5-digit extension. The complete number is 1-555-222-1234.
