How to Get Samsung Galaxy J2 To Use Speed Dial Numbers

[startac4]

I have speed dial code numbers set on my Galaxy J2 phone, but when I press a speed dial code number the phone won't dial the associated number. I get a recording "call cannot be completed as dialed". Obviously it is dialing only the speed dial code and not the associated number (dialing the actual number directly from contact list works). What's the trick to get the Galaxy phone to dial using the speed dial numbers?

Can you install Google Contacts? With Google Contacts you just have to tap on a name to call or text automatically.

I avoid anything from google that I don't absolutely have to use. There must be a way on Samsung Galaxy to do this - I can't be the only person trying to use Galaxy speed dialing.

I'm surprised ... and disappointed that no one has posted the answer. Is really no one using speed dial calling on Samsung Galaxy phones???

nope and i use my z fold 4 for work......do not see a need. i can find numbers of clients quite easily and just takes a second. or if im driving, i can have my google assistant find and dial the number i need.
