I tried to call a client today. I was told I had to
'dial by last name' to reach them. Only as I tried to dial I realized that the letters above the numbers are not on my phone. I tried to visualize what letters were above which numbers. Is there any way on the 8830 to show this? I know my old treo showed it on the display. HELP!!!
Search for the thread "how to call numbers like 1800-best-buy". Its in there...but basically type the area code...then hit alt and the letter you need...it will spell it out on the screen, then just hit call.

He's talking about a voicemail system where you dial by a person's name to reach them. Slightly different then what you guys posted.
Even still, hold down ALT when on the phone and dial the letter on the keyboard (doesn't matter if it's on a number or not), the tones will sound like it's a regular phone pad.
