Joining 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 (such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin,
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Google, or
T-Mobile). 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 phone 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
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. Press and then tap Join contact.
4. Tap the second contact entry (the entry in
which to link). 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 second contact image that is
displayed for both, but the first
contact's name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is
joined with Julie (second entry). Julie
appears to disappear and only Amy
remains. Tap the Amy entry (showing
the Julie image) to view both.
