What is the Phone Book?
You can store names and telephone numbers as entries in an electronic ’Phone Book’. These
entries are stored in the Personal Numbers list in your phone or SIM card’s memory, and in the
Fixed Dial list
#
on your SIM card. Once stored, a number can be quickly retrieved and dialled.
Your phone can store 100 entries and the SIM card can store up to 155 entries in the Personal
Numbers list. The number of SIM card entries will vary depending upon the type of SIM card
issued by your Cellular Service Provider.
You can also store up to 40 entries in a Fixed Dialling list if you have this feature. Fixed Dialling
allows you to limit use of your phone to particular numbers, or, if you wish, to country codes,
area codes, or other prefixes of your choosing.
Each Phone Book entry comprises:
• A telephone number. Up to 32 digits can be stored, but this is reduced to 20 digits for
SIM card locations.
• A name. Up to 16 characters for phone locations. Up to 50 characters for SIM card
locations, but typically 10 or less.
• A location label - from 1 to 255 in your Personal Numbers list, or 1 to 40 in your Fixed
Dial list.
Postscripting
This allows you to make use of area codes and other prefixes previously stored in your Phone
Book when making a call.
To use postscripting, select the Phone Book entry containing the prefix and then simply enter the
rest of the number and press
O
to make the call.
You can also use postscripting if you want to call a number similar to one you have stored in your
Phone Book. Retrieve the number from the Phone Book, delete the relevant digits and then enter
the new number.
A
Postscripting a number does not overwrite the entry in the Phone Book.
A
Postscripting is not available when accessing the Phone Book using the Smart button.
