Make calls

You can start a call in several ways:

Manual dialling

For international calls, press * twice for the international prefix (the + character replaces the international access code), enter the country code, the area code without the leading 0, if necessary, and the phone number.

Repeat a call

To access the list of dialled numbers, press the call key once in the standby mode.

Select a number or name, and press the call key.

Select a number from Contacts

Search for a name or phone number that you saved in Contacts.

Press the end key.

Press the volume key up or down.

Dialling shortcuts

Assign a phone number to one of the number keys, 2-9. See "Assign dialling shortcuts", p. 15.

Use a dialling shortcut to make a call in one of the following ways:

• Press a number key, then the call key.
• If Menu > Settings > Call > Speed dialling > On is selected, press and hold a number key.

Voice dialling

Make a phone call by saying the name that is saved in Contacts.

As voice commands are languagedependent, before voice dialling, you must select Menu > Settings > Phone > Language settings > Phone language and your language.

Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during an emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialling in all circumstances.

1 In the home screen mode, press and hold the right selection key.A short tone sounds, and Speak after the tone is displayed.

2 Say the name of the contact you want to dial. If the voice recognition is successful, a list with matches is shown. The phone plays the voice command of the first match on the list. If it is not the correct command, scroll to another entry.

Options during a call

Many of the options that you can use during a call are network services. For availability, contact your service provider.

Text messages

Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a single message.

Longer messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters with accents or other marks, and characters from some language options, take up more space, and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.

The total number of characters left and the number of messages needed for sending are displayed.

To send messages, the correct message centre number must be stored in your device. Normally, this number is set by default through your SIM card. To set the number manually, select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages > Message centres > Add centre, and enter a name and the number from the service provider.

Multimedia messages

A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, and sound or video clips.

Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.

The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture exceeds this limit the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.

Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.

For availability and subscription to the multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact your service provider. You may also download the configuration settings.
