Contacts
The Contacts menu is used to manage your contact list. You can store
names, phone numbers and other information in both your SIM card and
your phone’s memory, which are physically separate but both used to
create the contact list. You can also create contact groups, an FDN list, and
speed dial numbers.
Note: When you change phones, numbers stored in your SIM card memory are automatically
available with the new phone, whereas numbers stored in the phone’s memory must be re-
entered or transferred using a data kit accessory. However, contacts stored on the phone can
include additional details that can not be stored on the SIM card.
Note: When storing an Address Book entry in your SIM card, only the name, phone number,
group, and slot location are initially available as fields (some SIM cards allow an address as
well). Although you may add additional fields to a SIM entry; if you move that SIM card to another
model phone, it is possible that only the basic information will be transferred.
Add New Contact
Use the following procedures to store a new contact to your phone or SIM
card.
Note: Your phone can be set to automatically save contacts to your Phone, automatically save to
your SIM Card, or Ask on Saving. The default setting is Phone. The following procedures
assume that the phone is set to Ask on Saving. To change the setting, see “Save New Contacts
to” on page 71.
