Fixed dialing and smart dialing

Depending on your wireless service provider and wireless network, this feature might not be supported.

About fixed dialing

If you turn on fixed dialing, you can only make calls to contacts that appear in your fixed dialing list and to official emergency

access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).
If your wireless service plan includes text messaging, you can also send text messages to contacts that appear in your fixed

dialing list.
To use fixed dialing, your wireless service provider must set up your SIM card for this service and provide you with a SIM card

PIN2 code. Depending on your wireless service provider and wireless network, this feature might not be supported.

About smart dialing

With the smart-dialing feature, you can set a default country code and area code for phone numbers so that you do not have

to dial a country code and area code each time that you make a call, unless the country code or area code are different from

the default codes that you set. Some country codes are not supported by the smart-dialing feature.
In the smart-dialing options, you can also specify the main phone number for an organization that you call frequently so that

you can quickly call a contact in that organization by dialing only the extension for the contact. If you add contacts from that

organization to your contact list, when you add their phone numbers, you can type only the extensions instead of typing out

the main phone number for the organization.
