You can save and update contact information, such as phone numbers, home addresses, or e-mail addresses of your contacts. You can add a personal ringing tone or a thumbnail image to a contact. You can also create contact groups, which allow you to send text messages or e-mail to many recipients at the same time.

To open the contacts list, in the home screen, select Contacts.

1. To add a new contact to the contacts list, select Options > New contact.
2. Tap a field to enter the information in the field. To close the text input, select Icon . Fill in the fields that you want, and select Done.

To edit contacts, select a contact and Options > Edit.

On the contacts list toolbar, select from the following:

• Icon Call — Call the desired contact.
• Icon Create message — Send a message to the desired contact.
• Icon New contact — Create a new contact.

To copy or delete a contact, or to send a contact as a business card to another device, tap and hold a contact, and select Copy, Delete, or Send business card.

To delete several contacts at the same time, select Options > Mark/Unmark to mark the desired contacts, and to delete, select Options > Delete.

To listen to the voice tag assigned to a contact, select the contact and Options > Voice tag details > Options > Play voice tag.

Before using voice tags, note the following:

• Voice tags are not language-dependent. They are dependent on the speaker's voice.
• You must say the name exactly as you said it when you recorded it.
• Voice tags are sensitive to background noise. Record voice tags and use them in a quiet environment.
• Very short names are not accepted. Use long names, and avoid similar names for different numbers.

Note!
Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy environment or during an emergency, so you should not rely solely upon voice dialling in all circumstances.

You can assign default numbers or addresses to a contact. If a contact has several numbers or addresses, you can easily call or send a message to a certain number or address. The default number is also used in voice dialling.

1. In the contacts list, select a contact.
2. Select Options > Defaults.
3. Select a default to which you want to add a number or an address, and select Assign.
4. Select a number or an address you want to set as a default.
5. To exit the Defaults view and save the changes, tap outside the view.

You can define a ringing tone for a contact or group, and an image and a call text for a contact. When the contact calls you, the device plays the selected ringing tone and shows the call text or image (if the caller’s phone number is sent with the call and your device recognises it).
To define a ringing tone for a contact or a contact group, select the contact or contact group and Options > Ringing tone, and a ringing tone.

To define a call text for a contact, select the contact and Options > Add call alert text. Tap the text field to enter the call text, and select Icon .

To add an image for a contact saved in the device memory, select the contact, Options > Add image, and an image from Gallery.

To remove the ringing tone, select Default tone from the list of ringing tones.

To view, change or remove the image from a contact, select the contact, Options > Image, and the desired option.

When you open the contacts list for the first time, the device asks if you want to copy names and numbers from the SIM card to your device.

To start copying, select OK.

If you do not want to copy the contacts from the SIM card to your device, select Cancel. The device asks if you want to view the SIM card contacts in the contacts directory. To view the contacts, select OK. The contacts list opens, and the names stored on your SIM card are indicated with Icon .
