Local Contacts

You can manage contact lists for your users. For example, you might set up a contact list for all members of
a team or department. You have these options:
• Create a contact list on a handset, export it from the handset, and import it into another handset.
• Create a contact list with a text editor and import it into another handset.
Note
When you import a contact list, it overwrites the existing contact list. If the user has created custom contacts,
then these custom contacts are lost.
Import a Contact List
You can import a standard contact list to a handset. For example, you might set up a contact list for all members
of a team or department.
Note When you import a contact list, it overwrites the existing contact list. If the user has created custom contacts,
then these custom contacts are lost.
Before you begin
You can export a contact list from a handset or you can create a contact list using a text editor, such as Notepad.
Other programs may insert additional information that can't be parsed correctly. Set the file extension to .csv
or .txt.
The list is created in comma separated value (CSV) format. Here is an example.
John Smith,+2345678901,+2345678901,,+2345678911
Ann Jones,+2345678902,+2345678902,,+2345678912
Fred Brown,+2345678903,+2345678903,,
The format of each line of the file is
<name>,<work number>,<mobile number>,<home number>,<other number>
Where:
• <name> is the name of the user. The constraints to the name are:
• Can be up to 23 characters long. Names longer than 23 characters are truncated.
• Can't contain a comma (,).
• Only uses the letters listed in Supported Characters, on page
