How to Search Call Logs on Your BlackBerry

BlackBerry mobile devices have call logging options that save the details of incoming and outgoing calls in a message list. When you need know the details of the calls you've made, received or missed, you can find them in the call logs of your BlackBerry.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• BlackBerry

1. Press the Send key to open your phone. Your phone should light up the display and menu. Use the track wheel to view the menu and press in on the track wheel to select menu items.

2. Locate the Phone Options menu. Use the track wheel to highlight it and then click to view the options. Find the Call Logging option on the screen.

3. Click on Call Logging. Now, select Call Log Type and choose from the types of call logs you have designated. Log types are commonly organized into calls per day, with today's calls at the top of the list. Other log types track incoming, outgoing or missed calls.

4. Scroll up or down the list with the track wheel to select a call log type. Use the "Space" key to move to the top of the list or select the call log you want to view. You have the option of adding, editing or deleting the call log.

5. Use shortcuts to search call logs. After opening your phone, press the "Alt" key and period key to view the call logs for the outgoing calls. Use the "Alt" key and "3" key to view the call logs for the incoming calls.

Tips & Warnings

• Learn the shortcut keys of your BlackBerry. Shortcut keys make it easier for you to search your call logs and use other functions of the phone.
• Call logs provide minimal information--unless the phone numbers are saved in your BlackBerry's address book.

on 12/7/2009 Did anyone ever answer Liucuello? The directions missed a few steps. After you press the green "send" key to get to the phone, you have to press the "blackberry key" between the green "send" key and the track wheel. THEN you can scroll down to Options and click the track wheel to choose it. In the next menu, titled Phone Options, scroll down to Call Logging and click the track wheel. This takes you to the Call Logging menu and you can now choose which kinds of calls to display in the message list (missed calls, all calls, or none.) I was used to a call log on another phone that showed all my calls, and a separate message list. I initially made the mistake of choosing to show only the missed calls in the message list. When I went back and changed this to All Calls, it showed everything (dating back to the evening I got the phone).
