Default Is it possible to make phone numbers easier to read?

Please Login to Remove!

hi, new here. dont beat me up if this is the wrong board to post this on, but i figured since i have the Curve 8320, i should post it here. anyways, i was just wondering if there's a way to get the dashes or something in between the numbers in a phone number, on my BB, so that they're easier on the eyes? i literally find myself splitting up the digits with my finger sometimes.. haha. please help. -thanks.

Its easy to put the dashes in on a curve. All you have to do is hit the "I" button where you want the dashes. When in numeric mode it automatically uses the alternates for the keys, and the alternate for the "I" is the dash that you want.

Its a hell of a lot better than the pearl which you would have to hit the alt button, then the symbol button, then the "qw" just to get the dash. And you would have to do it slow too. If you do it too fast it won't get to the symbole menu.

The font was a little too small for my visually challenged eyes so I changed the font to BBClarity.

I don't understand how that answers the question.. Anyways, the first post pretty much solved my minor problem. I just thought there was a way or an application (haha) that perhaps would put the dashes in automatically, rather than doing it manually. But thanks anyways, guys =]]

I enter a space between area code, three digit exchange, and the final 4 numbers. Plus I use BB Casual, size 9, as my font.
