Adding a New Contact
Use the following procedures to store a new contact to your Phone or SIM Card.
Storing a Number in the Phone’s Memory
The default storage location for saving phone numbers to your phonebook is your
phone’s built-in memory. You can also save your numbers to your SIM card or setup
a default location so that whenever a new phonebook entry is created, you are
prompted to choose between Phone or SIM card. For information on how to change
this setting, see "Default Saving" on page 99.
Note: When you copy a phone number from your SIM card to your phone, the number displays twice in your
Contact list and each displays an icon that represents the location.
Note: When storing a Phonebook entry into your SIM card, note that only the Name, and Number are saved.
To save additional information for a particular contact, such as notes, e-mail, dates, etc., it is
important to save that Contact into your phone’s onboard memory.
