Re: Speed Dial On The IPhone?

2014-02-25 Thread Lea Langley
G Heil, I have an Apple support plan so I called to ask about speed dial. There 
is no speed dial option for the iPhone. The best you can do is either use Siri 
to call for you or add your contacts to your favorites list and then just look 
through your favorites list to find the contact you want to call instead of 
having to look through all of your contacts. God bless, Wren Langley

Re: Speed Dial On The IPhone?

2014-02-24 Thread RobH!
Use the 2digit number as the contact name?

or do something like 21Barry, 23Jones;  then typing 21 or 23 should find the 
sole contact with this prefix.

Just guessing, worth a try.

I have had a friend and coworker, who uses an android phone, ask me if the 
iPhone has speed dial capability.  I said that I had never heard it 
mentioned on this list, nor have I seen any reference to it anywhere else. 
So, can the iPhone be set up to speed dial numbers? If so, how do I do it? 
I know about the favorites in my contacts, but I am talking about setting up 
a one- or two-number combination to dial a number.

Thanks for any information.

RE: Speed Dial On The IPhone?

2014-02-24 Thread Richard Turner
There is not a direct way to do this.

There is a hack-work around that uses Safari to create an icon on your home
screen to a specific number, but it requires you to trust the person who
hosts the server to not gather your phone numbers, and once you create the
icon and double tap it, you then will have a cancel or call button to double
tap.  So, not using the phone app directly at all.

 

I just tested it on an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.6 and it worked.  But, that
was a number I didn't care if anyone harvested it.

This is not a recommendation, just reporting a possibility.

 

Here is the YouTube link to the explanation.
