Creating a Contact
The default storage location for saving phone numbers to your Contacts List is your device's built‑in memory.
If existing Google and Corporate email accounts have been synchronized to your phone, these will be made
available to your device during the creation of new entries. These new Contacts entries can be assigned or saved
to synced accounts such as Device, SIM, Google, or Corporate.
Your device automatically sorts the Contacts entries alphabetically. You can create either a Device, SIM, Samsung
account, Google, or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync contact.
Important! The Google and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account types are only visible after creating an
email account of those types on your phone.
● Device contacts are stored locally on the device.
Note: If the device is ever reset to its factory default parameters, contacts stored on the device can be lost.
● SIM contacts are stored within the micro SIM Card.
