Making calls This chapter shows you how to make phone calls, and the various options available to you during your call. Before making a call Check that the phone function is on before you make a call. You can confirm the phone status from the status bar (please refer to "Status icons" on page 15). Notes: Most SIM cards come with a pre-set PIN from the provider. If you are asked to enter a PIN, enter it and tap OK. To change your PIN, please refer to "Setting a SIM PIN" on page 33 Making a call 1. Tap the Phone tile on the Start screen. 2. Tap to open the onscreen number pad and enter the number you wish to dial. 3. Tap call. 4. To end the call, tap End. Making an emergency call You can make emergency calls, even if your phone does not have a SIM installed, or if the SIM has been blocked. 1. Turn on the phone and tap emergency call on the screen. 2. Enter the emergency number for your area. Tip: GSM carriers all recognize 112 as an emergency number. This will usually connect you to an operator who will be able to connect you to the emergency services in your area. In North America, dialling 112 will redirect you to 911. SIM cards may come with other emergency numbers, contact your network provider for details. Important: If you have enabled the phone lock and/or SIM lock, and you have forgotten the unlock code or SIM PIN, you can still make emergency calls by tapping emergency call.
