import them by synchronizing (see Defining
speed-dial buttons).
Make sure your phone is on and that you’re
inside a coverage area (see Turning your
phone on).

• Last name (SMI for Smith)
• First initial, a space, and then last

• First name and last name
(JOH SMI for John Smith)

Entering SMA finds only Smilla
