Speed Dial allows you to place a call by pressing a reduced number of keys instead of the entire phone number. Since these shortcuts are for a user and not a specific device, speed dials remain configured if you replace your phone or have more than one active device assigned to you. Speed dial also works on the Nextiva App. Follow the steps below to set up this feature:

From the Nextiva Voice Admin Dashboard, hover your cursor over Users and select Manage Users.

To use speed dials, go off-hook with your phone. Enter #, followed by the speed dial number (ex. #02) to connect to the assigned phone number. If the speed dial number is lower than 10, you must enter the 0 preceding the number to create a two-digit number. If you are using a computer application, dial #, followed by the speed dial number, and then press the dial button.
