Contacts (phonebook)


To open Contacts, select Menu > Contacts.

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.

Manage names and numbers

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 Add to favourites, Edit, 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.

To set a contact as a favourite, select a contact and Options > Add to favourites. Favourites are marked with a star icon.
