    Fixed dialing and smart dialing Depending on your wireless service provider and wireless network, this feature might not be supported.
    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® smartphone 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.

     key.

    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 don't 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 aren't 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 just the extensions instead of typing out the
    main phone number for the organization.

    Conference calls About conference callsYou can create two types of conference calls with your BlackBerry® smartphone. 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
    smartphone or computer. Conference call meetings allow participants who have a BlackBerry smartphone to enter the conference call meeting with a one-touch Join Now option, if this feature is supported on their smartphone, so that they don't
    have to dial the conference call bridge number and access codes. If you don't have a conference call bridge number, you can
    create a conference call by calling other contacts and joining the calls together.
