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 .
4 Set the following:
When I Dial: Tap this field and select the number of digits you need to
enter to have your phone add a dialing shortcut.
Use This Dialing Prefix: Enter the prefix to be added at the beginning
of the dialed number. The combination of prefix and digits you enter
must add up to a complete phone number.
5 Tap Done .
Example: A complete phone number in your company’s phone system has
11 numbers, for example, 1-408-555-1122. When dialing from a phone that’s
part of the system, you need to dial only the last five digits (51122). When
you create a dialing shortcut on your phone, you select “5 digit numbers” for
When I Dial and enter “140855” in Use This Dialing Prefix . So when you
dial your co-worker’s five-digit extension (81122), your phone automatically
dials the whole number: 1-408-555-1122.
Set roaming and data usage preferences
Use roaming and data usage preferences to set options for using your phone
in your home network and while roaming. For example, you can set options
to prevent placing a call or making a data connection while roaming, so that
you avoid extra charges.
1 Open Phone .
2 Open the application menu and tap Preferences .
3 Under Network , set any of the following:
Allow voice roaming: Set whether to allow phone calls when you are
roaming.
Data roaming: Set whether to allow web browsing, email,
multimedia messaging, and instant messaging when you are roaming.

multimedia messaging, and instant messaging— On or Off .

A TTY (also known as TDD or text telephone) is a telecommunications
device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have
speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone. Your phone
is compatible with select TTY devices.

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
