70 Using Phone Features 3.4 Smart Dial Smart Dial makes it easy for you to dial a phone number. When you start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dial will automatically search and sort the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list to dial. Smart Dial panel To find a contact name or number You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will search for contact phone numbers and the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number "2" on the onscreen phone keypad, which is associated with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: "Ben Miller", "George Adams", "John-Carter", "Carter, Ellen", "Dixon, Allan", "Thomas_Clark", "JaneCampbell". If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap "3" which is associated with [d, e, f ], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following names: "Ben Miller", "George Adams", "Carter, Ellen", "Dixon, Allan". Tip You can also use the hardware keyboard to enter the name or number of the contact. Please note that the letters assigned to numeric keys on the hardware keyboard is different from the onscreen keypad.
