C o n t a c t s

To check the recipient names from the contact database, press Menu, select Tools > Check names. The letters that you have typed in the To: field are matched to the contact database. If only one match is found, it is added to the To: field. If several matches are found, you can select the correct one from a list.

Creating and editing contact groups

With contact groups you can send the same message to a group of people at the same time.

To create a contact group, press Menu in Contacts directory, and select File > New group.... Scroll to Group name, and give a name for the group. To add a member to the group, press Add member, scroll to a contact in the list, and press Add. To select multiple contacts, press Shift and the scroll key.

Tip: If you want to restrict incoming calls to a certain group of people, for example, while in a meeting, you can create a contact group that only includes those people. See "Profile settings{No generated text before found for '#comma'}" p.62.

To open a contact group, scroll to a contact group in the Contacts directory list, and press Open.

Tip: To attach an image to the contact group, press Menu, and select Group > Insert picture.

To remove a member from a contact group, open the group in the Contacts directory list, scroll to the member, and press Remove member.

Managing contacts saved in the SIM card

Tip: The SIM card contains information identifying you as the network user.

The length of the name and the phone number that you can save depends on the SIM card.

To save a new contact in your SIM card, open the SIM card directory, and press New contact. An empty SIM contact card opens. Type the contact's name and phone number or fax number.

To edit a contact saved in the SIM card, scroll to the contact in the Contacts directory list, and press Open. To delete a contact from the SIM card, scroll to the contact in the Contacts directory list, and press Delete.

To call a contact, scroll to the contact in the Contacts directory list, move to the right window, scroll to the phone number, and press Call.

To send a text or multimedia message to a contact, scroll to the contact in the Contacts directory list, move to the right window, scroll to a mobile phone number, and press Write text message or Write MMS.

To copy the contents of the SIM card directory to another contact database, scroll to the SIM directory in the Contacts directory list, and press Open > Copy all. Select the database where you want to copy the contact information.

To change the sorting order of the names in the SIM card directory, press Menu, select View > Sort by > Name, or SIM location.

Copying and moving contacts to different databases

You can copy or move selected contacts from one database to another.

To keep a copy of the contact card in the original database, select Copy to and the contact database where you want to copy the contact.

To move the contact card from the original database, select Move to and the contact database where you want to move the contact. No copy of the contact card remains in the original database.

The primary contact database is in the device. You can also store contact information in the databases of your SIM and memory cards. The Contacts directory only displays one database at a time. To view the contents of a different database, select the database in the Contacts directory, and press Open.

If you select the SIM card database, only the name and numbers of the contact cards can be copied. If the contact card includes more than one phone or fax number, each number is placed in a separate SIM memory location.

Contact card settings

You can select the default template for contact cards, the order in which you want the names displayed in the Contacts directory list, the address format used in contact cards, and the format of the business cards that you send.

To select the default contact card template, go to Contacts, press Menu, select Tools > Settings > General > Default template, and press Change. Select the template from the list, and press OK. You cannot use a different template after you have created the contact card. You can, however, add, delete, or rename the contact information fields of the contact card.
