Dialpad 1.0

Dialpad 1.0 revolutionizes the way to search your contacts and make phone calls from your iPhone.

You can search key words in your contact names on a numeric pad and get the phone numbers with only several clicks, or dial a number and send a text message, or edit your contacts. To search for a contact, simply type the numbers that correspond to the characters in the name. For example, to search 'Apple', just type '27753'. The contacts that contain the character combinations will appear on the top of the screen. Scroll up and down to find the right contact, or keep typing to narrow down your search. (The screenshot shows an search input of 'rix'.)

Click on your choice to display the list of numbers stored under the contact, to make a phone call or send a text message (if the 'text messaging' option is turned on in the preferences). You can also edit the contacts by clicking on the blue arrow button next to the name. Any changes made in Dialpad will be reflected and stored in your built-in Contacts app. Of course, you can also dial a number directly from the dialpad.
