The phone provides a variety of methods to place a call for your convenience.

When the Home screen is displayed, press the numbers you wish to dial on the keypad, then press the
Talk key to make the call. Press the Back button if you need to backspace over a digit to correct the
number to be dialed. As you enter a phone number, your phone searches Contacts, Call History, Speed
Dial lists, and your SIM card to find a matching number. Matching names and numbers will be displayed.
When you see the name of the person you want to call (or the entire number) displayed, select it, and press
the Talk key.

To make a call by Contact name: From the Home screen, press the RSK ("Contacts") or select Contacts
from the Start menu. If there are numerous contacts listed, you can enter the first few letters of the desired
contact's name to perform a search. Select the name you want to call and press the Talk key. The phone
number that has been specified as the default phone number for that contact will be dialed.
To change the default number for a Contact: From the Home screen, press the RSK ("Contacts") or
select Contacts from the Start menu. Select the contact whose default phone number you want to change,
and then press the Right or Left navigational button to change the default number. The abbreviation at the
right side of the list indicates the default number. For example, if you change “w” to “m”, the default
number changes from Work phone (w) to Mobile phone (m).
To make a call from an open Contact card: From the Home screen, press the RSK ("Contacts") or select
Contacts from the Start menu. Select the desired contact, and then press the Action button to display all
