Importing contacts

You can import contacts from a comma separated values (CSV) file. One way of creating a CSV file is using Microsoft Excel and saving the file in CSV format.

Enter the names of the contacts in the first column and their phone numbers or URIs in the second. Do not use hyphens or spaces in the number. Note that Excel ignores zeros at the beginning of numbers. The cells must therefore be formatted as text.

Information about URI can be found on pages 46–47.

CSV files can also be created using software that can save in unformatted text format. Write a name, followed by a semi-colon and number – one contact on each line. When you save the file, give it a csv extension instead of txt.
