How to Search the History on My BlackBerry

Your call history allows you to monitor your phone activity.

The ability to search the call history on your BlackBerry allows you to monitor your phone use, retrieve phone numbers and return missed calls. BlackBerry phones come in a variety of models, but they all use the same operating system to log calls. Therefore, regardless of your phone's model or style, you can search the history of your BlackBerry by following a short series of steps.

Instructions

1. Activate your BlackBerry by pressing any key to get it out of standby mode. This will light up your display menu. Unlock your keypad if necessary.

2. Find the "Options" menu, highlight your call log and select it. You will see the menu when you activate your BlackBerry if you use the default screen display.

3. Use the trackball or touch screen to scroll down and view your call history. Arrows pointing to the right of the phone icon represent received calls. Arrows pointing to the left represent placed calls, and an "X" next to the phone icon represents a missed call.

Tips & Warnings

• The menu tab will appear in different locations on your BlackBerry display screen depending on your phone's theme.

• Calls are stored for 30 days, so add numbers that you wish to keep to your contact list.
