How to quickly redial the last number you called
Don’t you hate it when your cellular calls get dropped while you’re in the middle of a conversation due to a bad connection?
Or perhaps something unexpected comes up so you tell the person you’re talking to that you need to hang up but you’ll call them right back?
When these things happen you probably scroll through your Contacts list until you find that person’s entry again so you can call them back.
Well, guess what? You don’t have to do that…
Simply open your phone’s dialer and tap the Call button. That will force your phone to automatically redial the last number you called. How’s that for a fast and easy connection?
