Setting your abbreviated dialing
preferences
Abbreviated dialing is used to automatically
dial a complete phone number when you
enter a shortened version of that number.
Shortened phone numbers are typically
used in corporate phone systems that
allow internal users to dial an extension
number rather than the complete number.
For example, if your co-worker’s phone
number is 1-555-222-1234, you may need
to dial only the last five digits of that
number from an internal phone. In that
case, you would dial 21234. If that
shortened five-digit internal number is
entered in your contact list or in a corporate
Global Address List (GAL), your Treo 700wx
smartphone will attempt to dial an
incomplete number because it is not on
the internal phone network.
If that is the case, use the abbreviated
dialing settings to automatically complete
shortened numbers. For example, if all the
phone numbers in your office begin with
1-555-22, followed by a five-digit extension,
set your smartphone to automatically enter
1-555-22 as the prefix before any five-digit
number. When you enter your colleague’s
five-digit extension, your device
automatically dials 1-555-22 plus the
five-digit extension. The complete number
is 1-555-222-1234.

or 7). Selecting the option adds a prefix
to numbers with the specified number
of digits.
