Set up an LDAP account:

1In Settings, tap “Mail Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.

2Tap Other, then tap Add LDAP Account.

3Enter your LDAP account information and tap Next to verify the account.

4Tap Save.

When you set up an LDAP account, you can view and search for contacts on your company or organization’s LDAP server. The server appears as a new group in Contacts. Since LDAP contacts aren’t downloaded to iPhone, you must have an Internet connection to view them. Check with your system administrator for specific account settings and other requirements (such as VPN).

Import contacts from another phone’s SIM: In Settings, tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Import SIM Contacts.

The contact information on the SIM is imported to iPhone. If you have Contacts enabled for both MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange, you’re prompted to choose which account you want to add the SIM contacts to.

Important: iPhone doesn’t store contacts on its SIM.

Searching Contacts

You can search first, last, and company names in your contacts on iPhone. If you have a Microsoft Exchange account set up on iPhone, you may also be able to search your enterprise Global Address List (GAL) for contacts in your organization. If you have an LDAP account set up on iPhone, you can search contacts on your organization’s LDAP server.

When you enter search information, contacts with matching information appear immediately as you start to type.

Search contacts: In Contacts, tap the search field at the top of any list of contacts and enter a first, last, or company name. (To scroll quickly to the top of the list, tap the status bar.)

Search a GAL: Tap Groups, tap Directories at the bottom of the list, then enter a first, last, or company name.

You can’t edit GAL contacts or save them to iPhone.

Search an LDAP server: Tap Groups, tap the LDAP server name, then enter a first, last, or company name.

You can’t edit LDAP contacts or save them to iPhone.
