Making calls

You can make a call by manually dialling a phone number, by tapping a number

saved in your contacts list, or by tapping the phone number in your call log view. You

can also use the smart dial function to quickly find numbers from your contacts list

and call logs by entering part of a contact number or name and selecting from the

suggestions that appear. To make a video call, you can use the Hangouts™ instant

messaging and video chat application on your device. See

Instant messaging and

video chat
