Contacts

Use the Contacts application to store and manage all your contacts. Keep your phone numbers, email addresses, birthday info and other contact data in one place. Contacts shows you all communication with a particular contact. Just tap on the contact to access this information in one easy overview.

You can add new contacts in your phone and synchronize them with the contacts in your

Sony Ericsson Sync account, Google™ account, Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® account, or other accounts that support syncing contacts. Contacts automatically tries to join new addresses with existing contacts, to create a single entry. You can also manage this process manually.

Getting contacts into your phone

If you want to transfer contacts from your old phone to your new phone using any of the methods described below you should first refer to the User guide of your old phone. Also, remember that you need to back up your old contacts first before you can import them to your new phone. You can do this either by synchronizing your old phone contacts with a synchronization account, or by exporting the contacts to your SIM card or to a memory card.

You can get existing contact information into your phone using several methods:

•Use a synchronization service, such as Sony Ericsson Sync or Google Sync™. This way, you can manage your contacts both directly in the phone and from a computer.

•Import contacts from a SIM card. You may not be able to transfer all information from one phone to another using this method because of limited memory on the SIM card. Also, some phones do not support the export of contacts to a SIM card.

•Import contacts from a memory card. Please note that it is not always possible to transfer contacts from one phone to another using this method, since some phones do not support the import or export of contacts from/to a memory card.

•Use a Bluetooth™ connection to transfer contacts from one phone to another. Both phones need to be switched on. In some phones, Bluetooth™ only works when a SIM card is inserted.

•You can send contacts via messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all phones support the sending of contacts via messaging services.
