Adding A New Contact - Samsung GALAXY MEGA User Manual

Adding a New 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 Phone, 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 phone is ever reset to its factory default
parameters, contacts stored on the phone can be lost.
•
SIM contacts are stored within the micro SIM Card.
Note: SIM contacts only store the Name and Phone number for
an entry.
•
Samsung account contacts are shared with your existing
Samsung account.
•
Google contacts are shared with your existing Google account
and can also be imported to your phone after you have created a
Google Mail account.
•
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (also known as Work or
Outlook) contacts are those contacts that are intended to be
shared with either an Exchange Server or from within Microsoft
®
Outlook .
•
Add new account lets you create a new account type. Choose
from Samsung account, Google, or Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync.
Note: When storing an entry into your micro SIM card, note
that only the Name, and Number are saved. To save
additional information for a particular contact, such as
notes, email, dates, etc., it is important to save that
Contact into your phone's onboard memory.
