Importing a contact from an Exchange ActiveSync account

Merging contact information

If you have the same contacts stored in your phone and online accounts such as Google and Facebook, your phone will try to link them as one automatically. If it doesn’t, you can manually link them so that you won’t have duplicated entries in your contacts list.

Also link your contacts with other social network accounts such as Twitter and Flickr. You’ll then see their updates and events from these accounts all in one place.

1.From the Home screen, tap > People.

2.On the All tab, tap the name of the contact (not the icon or photo) you want to link.
