About

Big Dial

Read full description

This is a phone dialing productivity tool featuring a large-button keyboard. It offers two keyboard sizes – standard large buttons and extra-large buttons – along with independent numeric keys. An intelligent built-in algorithm lets you find and dial contacts instantly by typing the first letters of their names. It also supports continuous name input, T9 search, and other retrieval methods, with results displayed in real time as you type. The large-button keyboard layout has been redesigned based on the QWERTY layout to match popular typing habits. The keyboard offers vibration feedback and a comfortable tactile experience. Pro features include a rich selection of themes, switched via an innovative wave‑scroll wheel for fun theme customization; several optional icons; long‑press to copy contacts and smart paste; lock screen widgets; customizable display when search results are empty; and unlimited favourites and groups. Swipe left or right on the keyboard to toggle between numeric and letter keyboards. A vibration alert is provided when an outgoing call is connected, making calls more relaxed.
