In this tutorial you will learn how to set speed dial on the iPhone. Speed dial is a function on your iPhone that allows the user to make a call by pressing fewer buttons. This is a very helpful technique for people who dial certain numbers on a regular basis. We will be setting a speed dial icon on our home screen with Safari.

Step #2 – Type phone number
Type the phone number you want to add to speed dial in the URL of safari. After the phone number, add a “.tel.qlnk.net”. This is simply letting Safari know that you are searching for a telephone number. For example, if the number you wish to call is 314-555-1111 then it would look like this in your URL field:3145551111.tel.qlnk.net
