Fast Dial

Fast Dial will save you some steps when placing a call to a contact listed in your Personal Address Book. Fast Dial and Speed Dial are similar, however there are two major differences:

• You can setup Fast Dial both in CM and at your phone. Speed Dial can only be setup in CM.
• You must log in to your Personal Directory to place a Fast Dial call, whereas you do not have to log in when using Speed Dial.
