Using Abbreviated Dialing

Abbreviated Dialing is similar to speed dialing, except that you dial digits from the actual phone number, rather than an assigned code.

With Abbreviated Dialing, you can call numbers by dialing just the unique numbers in the telephone number, and your phone fills in the other digits. For example, if you frequently dial numbers in the same area code, you can configure Abbreviated Dialing with the area code, then just dial the remaining digits to place a call. Abbreviated Dialing will add the preconfigured digits before the number to complete the number.

When you turn Abbreviated Dialing On, you store digits to add to the beginning of the digits you dial. For more information about configuring Abbreviated Dialing, see “Abbreviated Dialing” on page 67.

1.Enter digits from a contact’s stored phone number, conforming to the digits you previously stored with Abbreviated Dialing.
