2.3 Smart Dial
Smart Dial panel
Smart Dial makes it easy for you to dial a phone number.
When you start entering a phone number or contact 
name, Smart Dial automatically searches and sorts the 
contact entries in Contacts, and the phone numbers in 
Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed 
calls). You can then select the desired number or contact 
from the filtered list to dial.
To find a contact name or number
You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will search for contact 
phone numbers and the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after 
a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” on the phone keypad, 
which is associated with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be 
considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, 
“JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the 
same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be 
narrowed down to the following names: “
Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
