Entering Numbers in the Notepad
Your phone stores the most recent string of digits entered
on the keypad in a temporary memory location called
the notepad. These digits can be the last phone
number that you called, or a phone number that you
simply entered but did not call. These digits remain in
the notepad even when you turn off the phone.
To call the number, create a phonebook entry, or perform
other operations with the number stored in the notepad:
