> Making a Call from the Phone Screen

> The Phone program’s Smart Dial feature makes it easy for you to call a phone number or contact. 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 to call from the filtered list.

> You can 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 , which is associated with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as “Ben Miller,” “George Adams,” “John-Carter,” “Carter, Ellen,” “Dixon, Allan,” “Thomas_Clark,” “JaneCampbell” would appear as matches.

> 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.”
