In the web portal (CM User), when you created the speed dials/abbrv dial, you should see a number on the far left (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc). All you should need to do is pick up your phone, dial that number (i.e. 1) and when you do, you should see an AbbrDial softkey appear across the bottom of the phone. Press that button and your call should get processed.
