Dialed

/ˈdaɪəld/ verb

Turned or adjusted a dial or phone number, usually on a phone to make a call, or adjusted a device using a rotating control.

From 'dial,' which comes from Medieval Latin 'dialis' (daily), from 'dies' (day), because sundials track daily motion. Modern 'dial' shifted to mean any rotating numbered disk. Past tense adds the regular '-ed' ending.
