Creating a Contact
The default storage location for saving phone numbers to your Contacts List is your device’s built-in memory.
If existing Google and Corporate email accounts have been synchronized to your phone, these will be made
available to your device during the creation of new entries. These new Contacts entries can be assigned or
saved to synced accounts such as Device, SIM, Google, or Corporate.
Your device automatically sorts the Contacts entries alphabetically. You can create either a Device, SIM,
Samsung account, Google, or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync contact.
Important! The Google and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account types are only visible after creating an
email account of those types on your phone.
● Device contacts are stored locally on the device.
Note: If the device is ever reset to its factory default parameters, contacts stored on the device can be lost.
● SIM contacts are stored within the micro SIM Card.
Note: SIM contacts only store the Name and Phone number for an entry.
● Samsung account contacts are shared with your existing Samsung account.
● Google contacts are shared with your existing Google account and can also be imported to your phone
after you have created a Google Mail account.
● Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (also known as Work or Outlook) contacts are those contacts that are
intended to be shared with either an Exchange Server or from within Microsoft® Outlook®.
● Add new account lets you create a new account type. Choose from Samsung account, Google, or
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
Note: When storing an entry into your micro SIM card, note that only the Name, and Number are saved. To save
additional information for a particular contact, such as notes, email, dates, etc., it is important to save that
Contact into your phone’s on board memory.
