Call History window

The Call History window is accessed from the Call History item on the main menu or from the tray icon menu. As well as reviewing recent activity, you can dial someone from here by clicking on their telephone number. It's good practice to store the names of people when you speak to them, especially if you're likely to speak to them again.

By default, the Call History screen returns the fifty most recent calls. The next fifty can be accessed by pressing the page right button in the bottom right of the window.
