    							About fixed dialing
    If you turn on fixed dialing, you can only make calls to contacts that appear in your fixed dialing list and to official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).
    If your wireless service plan includes text messaging, you can also send text messages to contacts that appear in your fixed dialing list.
    To use fixed dialing, your wireless service provider must set up your SIM card for this service and provide you with a SIM card 
    PIN2 code. Depending on your wireless service provider and wireless network, this feature might not be supported.
    Turn on fixed dialing
    To perform this task, your BlackBerry® device must use a SIM card, and your wireless service provider must set up your SIM 
    card for this service and provide you with a SIM card PIN2 code.

    							About smart dialing
    With the smart-dialing feature, you can set a default country code and area code for phone numbers in the Contacts 
    application so that you do not have to dial a country code and area code each time that you make a call, unless the country 
    code or area code are different from the default codes that you set. Some country codes are not supported by the smart-
    dialing feature.
    In the smart-dialing options, you can also specify the main phone number for an organization that you call frequently so that 
    you can quickly call a contact in that organization by dialing only the extension for the contact. If you add contacts from that  organization to your contact list, when you add their phone numbers, you can type only the extensions instead of typing out 
    the main phone number for the organization.

    							Conference calls
    About conference calls
    You can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry® device. If your organization or a conferencing service has 
    provided you with a conference call bridge number, you can create conference call meetings in the calendar on your device or  computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry device to enter the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their device, so that they do not have to dial the conference call 
    bridge number and access codes. If you do not have a conference call bridge number, you can create a conference call by 
    calling other contacts and joining the calls together.
    Make a conference call
    Depending on your wireless service provider or your wireless service plan, this feature might not be supported.
