The Motorola Droid doesn’t come with a built in speed dial feature. This frustrates a lot of people who are used to mobile phones that allow them to easily speed dial the contacts that they call most frequently. You don’t have to remain frustrated, though. There’s a way to work around this issue and to effectively make it possible to speed dial contacts from your Motorola Droid.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the home screen of your Motorola Droid.
- Press down on the home screen and hold.
- A menu will pop up. Select the option that reads “shortcuts”.
- From the new menu, select the option to “direct dial”.
- You will now be able to choose the contact that you wish to set up a direct dial button for. Select from among your existing contacts.
- The contact that you have chosen will now show up as a shortcut on your phone. When you want to call this person, you simply go to the shortcut. Although this isn’t a true speed dial function, it works effectively for the same purpose.
Note, if you have a significant number of contacts that you call frequently then you might not want to put direct dial shortcuts for all of them on to your home screen. In this case, a better option is to go in and star all of the contacts that you want to be able to speed dial. Then you can create a shortcut for the starred folder. When you open this shortcut, just the starred contacts will appear and you can choose the one you want to call. Again, this is not true speed dial but it’s a good shortcut for placing quick calls.
