Contacts
Editing contact details
You can change or add details about your contacts. You can also set the ringtone for
when a contact calls, or divert all calls from a contact to your voicemail.
Some contacts contain information from multiple sources: information you added
by hand, information Contacts joined from multiple accounts to consolidate
duplicates, and so on. When you edit a contact, the information from each source is
grouped in its own color-coded, labeled section. If you find duplicate entries in
Contacts, you can join them into a single contact as described in "Joining contacts"
on page 102. If you find information from unrelated contacts were joined in error,
you can separate them, as described in "Separating contact information" on
page 103.
Changes you make to information from one source do not affect the information
from other sources. So for example, if you have information about a contact from a
Google Account and an Exchange account and both are configured to sync contacts,
edits to the information from the Google Account are synced to that account on
the web, but don't change the information from the Exchange account.
For more information about working with multiple accounts, see "Accounts" on
page 105.

To change a contact's default phone number
