Show Contact Matches
By default, when you have the dial pad displayed but you're using the keyboard to enter a
phone number, both numbers and letters appear and your phone performs a search of
matching names in Contacts. If you turn off this preference, typing on the keyboard with the
dial pad displayed enters numbers only and no search in Contacts is done.
1. Open Phone
2. Open the application menu and tap Preferences.
3. In Show Contact Matches, tap On or Off.
Tip
Use Dialing Tones
Dialing tones, also known as DTMF tones, are the tones that play when you press a key to
dial. A short tone plays briefly and then stops, no matter how long you press the key. A long
tone plays until you release the key.
1. Open Phone
2. Open the application menu and tap Preferences.
3. In DTMF tones, tap Short or Long, and then tap the option you want.
Use Dialing Shortcuts
Dialing shortcuts add a prefix at the beginning of a number, so you can dial an extension
instead of the whole number.
1. Open Phone
2. Open the application menu and tap Preferences.
3. Under Dialing Shortcuts, tap Add new number.

If you turn off the Show Contact Matches preference, you can still perform a
contact search in the Phone application. After opening Phone, tap the
contact list icon to the right of "Enter name or number." Type the contact
name or initials, and tap the number when it appears.
