Phonebook
In the Phonebook application, you can enter information for your personal contacts, for
example, phone numbers and email addresses. When you view a contact, you get quick
access to all communication with that contact.
If you have set up your phone for use with a synchronization service account, you can
synchronize your phone contacts with the account contacts. When you create or import
contacts, you are asked to select if you want to synchronize the newly created or imported
contacts with the account, or if you only want to use them in the phone (Phone contact). See
Synchronizing on page 54.
To view your contacts
•
From the Home screen, tap
The first time you open Phonebook, you are asked to set up your phone for synchronizing
contacts with an online service, and you can import contacts from your SIM card or memory
card. If you want to use the contacts you import from your SIM card with a synchronization
account, you should set up the synchronization with the account before you import the contacts
from the SIM card.
Getting contacts into your phone
If you want to transfer contacts from your old phone to your new phone using any of the methods
described below you should first refer to the User guide of your old phone. Also, remember that
you need to back up your old contacts first before you can import them to your new phone. You
can do this either by synchronizing your old phone contacts with a synchronization account, or
by exporting the contacts to your SIM card or to a memory card.
You can get existing contact information into your phone using several methods:
•
Use a synchronization service, such as Sony Ericsson Sync or Google Sync™. This way,
you can manage your contacts both directly in the phone and from a computer.
•
Import contacts from a SIM card. You may not be able to transfer all information from one
phone to another using this method because of limited memory on the SIM card. Also,
some phones do not support the export of contacts to a SIM card.
Import contacts from a memory card. Please note that it is not always possible to transfer
•
contacts from one phone to another using this method, since some phones do not support
the import or export of contacts from/to a memory card.
•
Use a Bluetooth™ connection to transfer contacts from one phone to another. Both phones
need to be switched on. In some phones, Bluetooth™ only works when a SIM card is
inserted.
•
You can send contacts via messaging services such as SMS, MMS or email. Not all phones
support the sending of contacts via messaging services.
