Making and Receiving Phone Calls

Dialling Phone Book Numbers

Alternatively, enter the phone book

number followed by

Dialling Phone Book Numbers with Smart Button

The following Smart button (

) options are available:

• Press

and use the volume button to scroll to the stored number, or press the

appropriate digit key to skip to a particular letter. To make the call, either hold down

for 1.5 seconds or press

Calling an Embedded Number in a Message

Details on how to call a number embedded in a message are given in the

Messages Menu

section.

International Phone Calls

To make an international phone call press and hold the

key. After a couple of seconds the

international dialling prefix

will appear in the display, this allows you to call from any country

without knowing the local international access code.
Now enter the country code, followed by the phone number. The country code follows the
conventional format, 49 for Germany, 44 for the UK, 46 for Sweden, etc.
Just like a conventional international call, remove the leading ’0’ of the area code when you dial.

Inserting Pauses Into Phone Numbers

To obtain a three second ’pause’ character in a phone number, press and hold the

key for a

couple of seconds, the pause symbol

will appear.

The pause character produces a three second delay whenever it is used. However, the first pause
character in a phone number is a special case, it will not begin its delay until the call is answered.

Pause - A Working Example.

If, for example, you have a tone-based voicemail system on 555-6911, with a mailbox number
1066 and password 2001. Then you may dial the following number:

5556911Ь1066Ь2001

The first part of the number would be used to call the voicemail system.
When the call is answered the first pause will produce a delay of three seconds before the tones
for

1066

are sent to select the mailbox.

There will be a second pause of three seconds before the tones for

2001

are sent as the

password.

GSM Emergency Calls

The world-wide GSM standard provides a single, uniform number, 112, to dial in cases of
emergency.
Provided that your phone has found a network, you will be able to make an emergency call. The
call can be made regardless of any security codes and, depending on the network, with or
without a SIM card inserted.
The emergency call will be directed to a central emergency operator.
To dial the GSM emergency number, press

112O

While the emergency call is being made and connected, the display will show

Emergency

Calling

Emergency calls can be made without a battery fitted if the phone is powered by the
travel charger.
