7.34 AT^SPBC Search the first entry in the sorted telephone book
This command searches the active phone book for the index of the first entry that matches the char-
acter specified with <schar>. The sort order follows the algorithm described in Chapter 8.6.
CAUTION: Please note that the sorted entries are assigned an index of their own which is not identi-
cal with the location numbers used in the various phonebooks. Therefore, the index retrieved with
the ATˆSPBC command can be used only as an index for AT^SPBG. Do not use the listed index
numbers to dial out or modify entries.

Note
· There is no difference between small and capital letters.
· The index numbers are identical with those displayed by AT^SPBG and are
intended for reading only (see further explanations in Chapter 7.36).
· The minimum valid phone book index for AT^SPBG is 1.
· The AT^SPBC command can be used only after the phonebook data from
the SIM have been read successfully for the first time. Reading starts after
successful SIM authentication has been performed, and may take up to 30
seconds depending on the SIM used. While the read process is in progress,
an attempt to use any of the phonebook commands will result in ”+CME Er-
ror: 14” (SIM busy).
