Thanks so much! I just got my “Crackberry” in March and dialing by name was impossible until I read this.

for extension #you can simply type in “x” in front of the extension # in the same line as their main number.

Questions to you all:
What about if you dialed the number and you reach directory. Now you need to spell the person’s name. Is there an easy way to do that!?

You gotta love and hate crackberries!

I have a 7100g. Each key pad contains two letters. Just about every website I’ve come across FAILS to mention the following:

To enter a “C”, press ALT, then “7″ once.

To enter a “V”, press ALT, then “7″ twice, quickly!

If you don’t, you will always get the letter on the left side of the key pad.

If you put a phone number with letters in your address book it will also figure it out when dialing.

Put a comma to get a 2 second pause, or an exclamation mark for a “wait” between the phone number and the extension. You can also press he wheel and select “Insert Pause” or “Insert Wait” while editing the phone number.

So *that’s* how you do it! I have been stopped dead by the dreaded “Enter user’s last name” feature in voicejail systems too many times to count!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Thanks so much! Dialing by name in our Audix system was an exercise in educated guessing until I read this tip!

To answer my own post, alt-letter, letter for the second letter. It actually shows as the letter on the dial screen.

What about for 7100t where you’ve got two letters per key?
