Dialing a Person from Your Contacts

Windows Phone 7 allows you to call people from your contacts through a few different ways. The following steps assume you're already in the phone dialer (showing the “call history” screen as shown in Figure 2–1). However, you could also start from the Start screen and press the People live tile. We'll discuss more about this tile in a later chapter.

1. From the phone screen (Figure 2–1), press the People button. A list of your contacts should appear.
2. Tap the name of the person you'd like to call (see Figure 2–3).

3. A screen will appear listing the information you have stored about that person. From here you can tap on the text link to “call mobile” or “call home” (see Figure 2–4).
