Section 6: Understanding Your Phonebook
This section explains how to use and manage your Contacts list. You can save phone numbers to your phone’s memory
or to your SIM card.
Storing a Number in the Phone’s Memory
The default storage location for saving phone numbers to your Contacts list is your phone’s built-in memory. You can
also save your numbers to your SIM card or setup a default location so that whenever a new Contacts list entry is
created, you are prompted to choose between Phone or SIM card. For information on how to change this setting, see
“Default Saving” on page 44. Also, numbers that were stored on your SIM card can later be copied to your phone’s
memory.
Note: When you copy a phone number from your SIM card to your phone, the number displays twice in your Contact list.
Note: When storing a Contacts list entry into your SIM card, note that only the Name, and Number are saved. To save additional
information for a particular contact, such as notes, e-mail, etc., it is important to save that Contact into your phone’s onboard
memory.
