Managing Contacts
This manual should work for various mobile phone brands and models.
Press MENU KEY, and select Contacts. In Contacts you can add a personal ringing tone or a thumbnail image to a contact card. You can also create contact groups, which allow you to send text messages or e-mail to many recipients at the same time. You can add received contact information (business cards) to contacts. Contact information can only be sent to or received from compatible devices.
Tip! Regularly back up the information on the device to the memory card. You can restore the information, such as contacts, to the device later. You can also use Nokia PC Suite to back up your contacts to a compatible PC.

Copy contacts

When a new SIM card is inserted in the device and you open Contacts for the first time, you are asked if you want to copy the contact entries on the SIM card to the device memory. Select Yes to copy the entries to your contacts directory.
To copy individual names and numbers from a SIM card to your device, press MENU KEY, and select Contacts > Options > SIM contacts > SIM directory. Select the names you want to copy and Options > Copy to Contacts.
To copy contacts to your SIM card, press MENU KEY, and select Contacts. Select the names you want to copy and Options > Copy to SIM direct., or Options > Copy > To SIM directory. Only the contact card fields supported by your SIM card are copied.

For availability and information on using SIM card services, contact your SIM card vendor. This may be the service provider, network operator, or other vendor.
Press MENU KEY, and select Contacts > Options > SIM contacts > SIM directory to see the names and numbers stored on the SIM card. In the SIM directory you can add, edit, or copy numbers to contacts, and you can make calls.
Add ringing tones for contacts
When a contact or group member calls you, the device plays the chosen ringing tone (if the caller’s telephone number is sent with the call and your device recognizes it).
