Firstly, I assume you mean hash (#), as found on telephone keypads,
rather than pound (?), as found on currency. :-)
Secondly, you seem to be looking for the Directory application:

That application appears to use the '1' key, rather than the hash key,
but seems to do what you want. I haven't used it myself.
