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
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?
