Dial phone numbers more easily from the road

·         Great for sales people or frequent talkers, like myself

·         Send text messages to your phone with phone numbers inside the text message

 

You can send a text message to your phone with phone numbers in it, and as long as the numbers are in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx with no parentheses, your phone will be able to dial them in just a couple of clicks!  You have to try it to appreciate the coolness of it.

 

For example, if you sent the message

 

Lindsay Lohan 324-597-3422

Paris Hilton 767-667-8336

Britney Spears 967-786-6669

 

to your phone, if you then

 

·         Read the message

·         Hit the SEND key

·         Most cell phones will figure out that there are 3 phone numbers there, and you can

§         hit the down arrow to choose a number

§         hit the SEND key to dial the number

·         It is now in your phone and can be added as a contact

·         You can now call these numbers in two or three clicks instead of typing in a ten digit number

 

I use this all the time on LG phones, but if it works differently on your phone, please email me at pat@patrickomalley.com

 

This is really useful if you have a bunch of sales or personal calls to make while you are on the road

 

§         Note that someone else (secretary, assistant, colleague) could send you the phone numbers

§         Do not send more than 131 characters in a message, or it will be sent as multiple messages

§         If you actually call these three girls, email me some pictures

 

Pretty cool, and in less than two minutes, right?
