Using Abbreviated Dialing
Abbreviated Dialing is similar to speed dialing,
except that you dial digits from the actual phone
number, rather than an assigned code.
With Abbreviated Dialing, you can call numbers
by dialing just the unique numbers in the
telephone number, and your phone fills in the
other digits. For example, if you frequently dial
numbers in the same area code, you can
configure Abbreviated Dialing with the area
code, then just dial the remaining digits to place
a call. Abbreviated Dialing will add the pre-
configured digits before the number to complete
the number.
When you turn Abbreviated Dialing On, you store
digits to add to the beginning of the digits you
dial. For more information about configuring
Abbreviated Dialing, see “Abbreviated Dialing”
on page 67.
1. Enter digits from a contact’s stored phone
number, conforming to the digits you
previously stored with Abbreviated Dialing.
2. If only one number matches the
combination of your dialed digits and the
stored Abbreviated Dialing digits, press the
TALK Key to call the number.

Using Contacts Match
Contact Match displays matching contacts as
you enter digits or characters when dialing. You
can select from the list of matches to make
dialing easier.

Match, see “Contact Match” on page 69.

Plus (+) Code Dialing
When placing international calls, Plus Code
Dialing automatically inserts the international
access code for your location (for example, 011
for international calls made from the US) before
the phone number.
1. Press and hold 0 key until you see a “+”
on the display screen.
2. Dial the country code and phone number,
and then press the TALK Key. The
phone automatically prepends the access
code for international dialing, followed by
the country code and phone number.
