Linking Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts, social networking logins, and other similar account information.
For example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a corporate email account login because they are
maintained separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts. When you synchronize your phone with those accounts, each
account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a
Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Video! chat account, when you merge those
accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You can select any account email address or
information all from one screen, versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate the desired account
information.
Next time you synchronize your device with your accounts, any updates contacts make to email account names,
email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
1. From the Home screen, tap
Apps g
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to another entry) to reveal the Contact entry's Overview
Screen.
Note: Typically this is the same contact with a different name or account information.
3. Tap
Menu g Link contacts.
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in which to link) and select Done. The second contact is now
linked with the first and the account information is merged into one screen.
Note: The information is still maintained in both entries, but displays in one record for easier viewing when you
link the contacts.
Important! It is the first contact image that is displayed for both, and the first contact's name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with Julie (second entry). Julie seems to disappear and
only Amy remains. Tap the Amy entry (showing the Amy image) to view both.
5. Tap the main linked contact to view the contact information you linked. The contacts and information
displays with an icon next to the contact name to indicate what type of account information is contained in
the entry.
Unlinking a Contact
1. From the Contacts screen, tap a contact name (the account name from which you want to unjoin an entry). This

Menu g Unlink contacts.
Tap
3. Tap
next to the entry you want to unjoin and select OK. The contacts are "unlinked" or separated
and no longer display in the merged record screen. Both contacts now go back to being separately
displayed.
