Making a Walkie-Talkie Call from the Home Screen
On the Home screen, you can call someone by entering a phone number or a contact
name using the keypad.
As you begin pressing keys, your Smartphone displays the names from your Contacts
and recent call list whose name or phone number match your entry. You can then select
the name or number to call without having to enter the entire name or number.
Contacts appear on the Home screen with this icon
and a contact list abbreviation. If
a contact contains a Walkie-Talkie number, you can make a Walkie-Talkie call to that
number even if the contact list abbreviation for the Walkie-Talkie number (PTT) is not
showing.
Note: For more information about contact list abbreviations, see “Contacts, Calendar,
and Tasks” on page 101.
