Joining 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 phone 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

.

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. Press

and then tap Join contact.

4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to

link). The second contact is now linked with the first

and the account information is merged into one screen.

Note: The information is still maintained in both entries, but

displays in one record for easier viewing when you link
the contacts.
