Using Buddy Lists

A Buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status—or presence—you can monitor. Users update their presence setting, such as Be right back, Out to lunch, or Busy, and you can view their status in real time from your Buddy list, Lines view, and Home view by tapping the phone line. If you like, you can block others from monitoring your status.

Note: Buddies and Microsoft Lync Server 2010

If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010, the way you manage buddies is different. For more information, see Integrating with Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
