Default Alphanumeric numbers on the BB pearl 8100 keyboard

Please Login to Remove!

hey guys,


could anyone tell me how to dial alphanumeric numbers, e.g 1800-ASK-UPS or 1800- go FEDEX from the pearl's keyboard? I couldn't figure out the correct number for each letter on the keyboard.


thanks,

Hold down the ALT key (bottom Left key) and the letter key

And you have to multitap the letter since when you hit, for instance, the AS key, the phone needs to know (immediately) whether you want to dial the number typically associated with A (2), or the number typically associated with S (7). It saves the number in your history with the letters (which makes it much easier to remember what it was and redial it than regular phones where you search for the letter on the number keys and dial the number and only the numbers end up in the history).

Kind of a nifty idea on their part actually...
