BigNames
Give your eyes a break!
• BigNames displays your iPhone contacts extra-large and easy to read. Perfect for when you're on the move and need to make a call without squinting.
Make the Call
Dialing is as simple as browsing the names in your contact list. Touch a name to see a list of phone numbers. And then touch the number to dial.
Twist and Turn
BigNames adjusts the font size to take advantage of whichever way you're holding your iPhone.
Play Favorites
Quickly make anyone in your contact list a favorite, so they are easy to find at the top of the list.
Jump Around
A quick tap on the JumpBar takes you to the top of the list, the bottom or anywhere in between. To jump to a specific letter, hold your finger down and browse the easy-to-read index.

Tips
• In North America, a useful number to have in your contacts is Google 411. Simply say the name or company you want and they'll look up the address or even connect you. It's a toll-free number so if you pay for long-distance calls, it's also a great way to save some money. 1-800-466-4411 (GOOG-411)
Add GOOG-411 with the default Contacts application, "Reload Names" in BigNames, and it'll show up in your list.
