When making a phone call, you can use the device as a handset, use the headset, or use the speakerphone. If you're looking at the back of the device, the antenna is dead center. The best way to hold your device is with your fingers holding the edges and your palm not covering the back of the device.
In addition, when you are on the phone using a headset do not lay the phone on a metal surface or on the ground. Either will degrade the signal quality. If you have a soft surface, place the device face-down or hold the device with the back facing away from your palm. If you put the device in your pocket, face the back away from your body.
Tip! The listening sound is best when you hold the phone tight against your ear and the "mouthpiece" slightly away from your face. The microphone is sensitive enough to pick up your voice even if you hold it at this angle (about 20-30 degrees relative to your face).
. To turn the speakerphone off, press
again.
and select Settings > Advanced. From the Advanced Settings screen, in the Shortcuts group box, select the Speakerphone shortcut =
check box.
While you're on an active call, you can adjust the speaker volume by pressing the Volume + and - buttons. The buttons are located on the lower edge of your device, just below the Jump button.
There are many ways you can "dial" a call with your device. This section describes all the methods. Pick the one that suits you:
| Dialing Method |
Instructions |
|---|---|
| Embedded Dial Pad |
With the device display open, embedded in the keyboard you will see a 12-key dial pad: 
Dial your number using the pad, then press Send Call |
| Number Keys |
With the device display open, type the number using the upper row of number keys. The number appears on the screen.
Press Send Call |
| Redialing a Number |
You can redial a number you just disconnected by pressing the Send Call |
| On-Screen Dial Pad |
Scroll to highlight the dial mode button: Then press the wheel to open the on-screen dial pad.
Scroll to highlight a number, then press the wheel to select it. Continue until your number is complete. If you type an incorrect number by mistake, use the DEL key
Press Send Call Note that while the on-screen dial pad is open, you can dial with letters using the keyboard. The numeric equivalent of what you type is displayed in quotes. |
| Speed Dialing |
You can place a call using an assigned speed dial number. Press and hold the shortcut number key for at least two seconds to send the call. You can speed dial from the Jump screen as well as in the Phone.
To add a speed dial shortcut, from the main Phone screen, press Menu
Tip: If you've forgotten your speed dial number assignments, open the |
| Dialing Recent Numbers |
The Phone application stores a "recent" list of the last seven numbers you've called, received, or missed. To open this list, scroll to highlight
Scroll to highlight the number you want to call, then press Send Call The symbols to the left of the name/number tell you the "category" of the recent call: In addition, at the top of the recently-called list is a list of your stored Speed Dial numbers. You can open the Call Log by selecting the last item in the menu. Tip: To bring up your Recent List from the Phone splash screen, press and hold the wheel. |
| Dialing Using Letters |
If you want to dial a phone number that appears as letters (such as 1-800-FLOWERS), first open the on-screen dial pad by selecting the dial mode button on the main Phone screen: 
If you've already partially dialed the phone number using numbers, then select the Once the on-screen dial pad is displayed, you can use the keyboard to dial with letters. The Phone application will "interpret" the letters and send the numeric equivalent. In this dialing mode, you cannot use the embedded dial pad to dial numbers.
If you want to dial numbers, use the on-screen dial pad, or switch back to dialing with numbers using the keyboard by selecting the |
| Dialing from the Call Log |
The Call Log is described in detail in Call Log Screen, but (in brief) here's how to dial using the Call Log: |
| Dialing from the Look Up Screen |
You can open a "Look Up" view into your Address Book that just lists your contacts and phone numbers. To use this screen to dial a number:
|
| Dialing from Contact Information |
You can call a contact stored in your Address Book directly from their contact information:
Note: You can also place a call from the main Address Book screen listing all your contacts. Highlight a contact then press and hold the wheel to open the context menu. Highlight a number and press Send Call |
When you receive a new incoming phone call, you will see a notification screen.
Since the Answer button is highlighted by default, all you have to do is press the wheel to answer the call.
To send the call to the forwarding option you have selected in Settings > Call Forwarding & Voice Mail, highlight and select the Ignore button, or simply press the End Call 
button.
There are a couple of special cases you should know about:
the device so you can use the Menu, Jump, Cancel, and Done buttons.
to send the incoming call straight to the forwarding option you have selected in Settings > Call Forwarding & Voice Mail.
If your caller does not have Caller ID blocked on their phone account, then the incoming call notification screen will include the caller information. In addition, if you have the caller in your Address Book, the notification screen will be further personalized with the label on the phone number and an photo caller ID icon, if you have stored this information.
There are a couple ways you can call your voice mailbox to retrieve your voice mail.
Note that while you are on a voice mail call, the screen will display the voice mail commands keys.
You can embed pauses into a phone number you dial by inserting either the comma (,) or semicolon (;) in the number sequence. Each behaves a little differently:
So, if you want to dial a number that will then ask you to select an option (e.g., "Press 1 to contact Sales; press 2 to contact Customer Support; press 3 to contact Technical Support."), and then another option (e.g., "Press 1 to leave a message; press 2 to hold for a representative."), you could type:
In the example above, you would be placed on hold to wait for a representative without having to listen through and select the options. If you used semicolons (;) instead of commas (,) in the sequence above, you would need to watch the display of your device and respond to the dialog box prompts to dial the option numbers.
To insert the comma and semicolon while you're on the phone, read Enter Additional Numbers.
Sometimes after connecting to a phone number, you'll need to enter additional numbers (such as menu item choices or your voice mailbox security code). Enter these numbers directly from the embedded dial pad in the keyboard. Note that you do not have to press the 
key before typing the semicolon (;) or comma (,).
While on the phone, you can turn on the speakerphone by pressing the right shoulder button once
, or by selecting the 
Turn Speaker On button. Speak into the microphone (located next to the wheel). To turn the speakerphone off, press

Note that entering a number on this screen does not actually change your phone number. If you need to change your phone number, contact your wireless operator.
If you are keeping track of your calling time and need to reset the time to zero, select the Reset button. If, for some reason your phone number is not read from your SIM card, then you can enter it manually by selecting Enter Number. In the normal course of events, this should not be necessary.

(The button will toggle to read Show My Number for Next Call if you change your mind before you make the next call.)
If you want to hide your number from the people you call, then clear the Show my number for all calls check box.
