Viewing History

You’ll find the Call History feature very helpful. It is a list of the last 20 phone numbers (or Contacts entries) for calls you placed, accepted, or missed.

Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and

Contacts entry name (if the phone number is in your

Contacts). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call) may only appear once on the list.
