Linking Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social networking logins, and other
similar account information. For example, a Facebook account login name might differ from
a corporate email account login because they are maintained separately and for different
groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts. When you synchronize your phone with
those accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account that you maintain in Gmail,
but also has a Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Video!
chat account, when you merge those accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her
entries and view the information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You can select any account
email address or information all from one screen, versus searching multiple, individual
screens to locate the desired account information.
Next time you synchronize your device with your accounts, any updates contacts make to
email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
1. From the Home screen, tap Apps g Contacts.
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another entry) to reveal the
Contact entry’s Overview Screen.
Note: Typically this is the same contact with a different name or account information.
3. Tap Menu g Link contacts.
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to link) and select Done. The
second contact is now linked with the first and the account information is merged
into one screen.
