Do you use your speed dial, or phone book on your phone?

Do you have a lot of numbers stored in memory that you use to dial friends or family? How about the speed dial? My wife makes fun of me when I try to use our new phone's phone book. She says she could dial faster than I can find the number. How about you? Is it faster using the phone book?

My cellphone can store 500 numbers in the contact book. However, sometimes flipping through the book to find them is a hassle (a few seconds of hassle, but still). Speed dialing is my preference. I have all my main contacts on speed dial, so I just hold the button and wait for the phone to call them; very fast. Also, due to the simple manner of it, my mother can use my cell phone to call my father since he's on my speed dial and the process of using it is so simple (and since my father & I both have verizon, the call is free of charge).

most of the time i use the phone book, or the shortcut which shows the number that i dialled the most. i rarely use speed dial..although i have some numbers stored under the speed dial thingie, but i can't remember which speed dial is assigned to which number hehe...hence that's why i don't really use speed dial..

I store the phone numbers of my family, friends and others in my phone book. There is limited number of speed dials in my phone. I stored the nine phone numbers of my loved ones in the speed dial list. Yeah, it’s easier and convenient for me to get contact with them after having their phone numbers in my speed dial list. I can make a call with them easily just with a long press on any single particular number.

I don't usually use my speed dial.. I don't know why. I feel like it's not important to me. I seldom use my fone book. wether it is stored in my computer, mobile etc. I use it most often.

hi there! ;0 i dont really have a lot of contacts in my phone books so there's no need for me to have or use speed dial. whenever i want to call someone, i just find their name in my phonebook. i am a private person and i think there are only 30 or less people in my phonebook. lolz. :)

I have a habbit of writing phone numbers on a peice of paper and stuffing it in an envelope, sadly most of the time when I am looking for the phone number I can't find it and I call 411 for information.... I have a telephone directory but most of the time, I can't get the name right...lol.. I am seriously thinking of getting a phone that has speed dial options because I have to pay 0.25cents for each 411 call.
