Smart Dial
makes it easy for you to dial a phone number.
When you start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dial
will automatically search and sort the contact entries on the SIM card, 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:
“
B
en Miller”, “George
A
dams”, “John-
C
arter”, “
C
arter, Ellen”, “Dixon,
A
llan”,
“Thomas_ C lark”, “Jane C ampbell”.
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
