Your Contact List
Your BlackBerry excels as a contact manager. You will turn to your Contacts app,
perhaps more than any other app on the device. From a contact, you can email, sent a
text message, call, fax or even ''poke'' someone if you have the Facebook app installed.
One rule of thumb you will hear us say often is to add anything and everything to your
contacts. Whenever someone calls, add them to your contacts. Add contacts from
emails a nd m essages---- - you will always go back to them.

The Heart of Your BlackBerry

Your address book is really the heart of your
BlackBerry. Once you have your names and
addresses in it, you can instantly call, email, send
text (SMS) messages, PIN-to-PIN BlackBerry
Messages, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) or even
pictures or Multimedia Messages (MMS). Since
your BlackBerry came with a camera, you may
even add pictures to anyone in your address book
so that when they call, their pictures show up as
Picture Caller ID.

Getting Contacts from Your SIM Card onto
Your Contact List
If you are using your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card from another phone in your
BlackBerry and have stored names and phone numbers on that SIM card, it's easy to
transfer your contacts into your Contact list.
