Section 12: Understanding Your Address Book
This section allows you to manage your daily contacts by storing 
their name and number in your Address Book, either on your 
phone or on the SIM card. Address Book entries can be sorted by 
name, entry, or group.
Note: When storing an Address Book entry into the SIM card, only the Name,
Phone Number, Group, and Slot location are initially displayed. To save 
additional information for a particular contact, such as other phone 
numbers, or e-mail, it is important to add new fields to that Contact 
information. 
Important!: If you move the SIM card to another phone that does not support
additional fields on the SIM card, additional information may not 
be available.
Using Contacts
Dialing a Number from Address Book
Once you have stored phone numbers in the Address Book, you 
can dial them easily and quickly by either using their SIM card 
location number or by using the Search field to locate the entry. 
Tip: The default Address Book entries are: Check Bill Balance - *225#,
Directory Assistance - 411, Pay My Bill - *729, View Data Usage - 
*3282#, View My Minutes - *646#, Voice Connect - *08, *Now - *669.
Finding an Address Book Entry
You can store phone numbers and their corresponding names 
onto the SIM card and phone’s on-board memory. They are 
physically separate but are used as a single entity, called the 
Address Book.
Depending on your particular SIM card, the maximum number of 
phone numbers the SIM card can store may differ.
