Adding a New Speed Dial Contact

To add a new speed dial contact, open up the main Contacts page within the desktop app. Choose the + icon corresponding with the number you would like to assign the new speed dial to. Enter the contact's display name and phone number, then press save. We recommend less than 10 characters in the display name as that is the width of the Light Phone's screen. The maximum characters accepted is 15.
