2.3 Photo Contacts (Caller ID)

Photo Contacts is a “Caller ID” application that adds more

fun to using your phone. It allows you to assign photos or

animated GIF files to the entries in your Contacts. Then

when a person calls you (for whom you have previously

assigned a photo ID in Contacts), that photo ID will appear

on your phone’s incoming call screen.
You can also perform maintenance on the Contacts, even

create new Contacts and Groups and assign members to

the Groups, right from within Caller ID. (See also Chapter

8 for information about maintaining Contacts.)
The Caller ID utility does not run automatically when you

turn on your phone. You must activate it after the phone

is turned on.

Starting the Photo Caller ID program

Select

Photo Contacts from the Start Menu to invoke the

Caller ID program. If you have many Contacts, it may take

a few moments to load them. After they are loaded, the icon

shown below will display in the Title Bar. It indicates that the

“Caller ID monitor” is running, and Photo IDs (if assigned)

will display when incoming calls are received.

NOTE: Even if the Photo Caller ID monitor is not running,

you can still use the program to assign photos and manage

contacts and groups. The photos will display within your

Contacts application, but incoming calls will not be able

to display the Photo IDs you assigned. (To disable Photo

Caller ID manually, use

Options > General as mentioned

later in this section.)
