2.Enter a phone number from standby mode. (If you make a mistake while dialing, press Bto erase one digit at a time. Press and hold Bto erase the entire number.)

3.Press S. (To make a call when you are roaming and Call Guard is enabled, see “Understanding Roaming” on page 74.)

4.Press Ewhen you are finished.

Tip:	To redial your last outgoing call, press Stwice. You can also
	do so by pressing stwice.
	When making calls off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
	always dial using 11 digits (1 + area code + phone number).

You can also place calls from your phone by using Sprint PCS Voice Command (page 179), speed dialing numbers from your Contacts (page 85), using your Call History listings (page 79), and using Voice Recognition (page 106).
