Using speed dial numbers on your Cisco office phone

Speed-dialing is a two step process. First you need to set up speed dial numbers using the Cisco Self Care Portal. Once you've established your speed dial favorites, you can call them from the following Cisco phone models: 7841, 7861, 8821, 8831, 8832, and 8851. Speed dialing is not available on the Cisco 3905 wall phone.
