You can store contacts with multiple phone numbers and email addresses, as well 
as a physical address and additional details.
The phone can store up to 1000 items. Your SIM card can store contact 
information as well; however, a SIM card may not be able to save all of the contact 
fields supported by the phone. Check with your service provider for more details 
about your SIM card, including its capacity.
Adding a New Contact
 Select  Main Menu > Address Book > Left Soft Key for Options > New Contact.
 Enter the contact information into the appropriate fields.
 Press the OK Key to save the new contact.
Searching Contacts
   Select  Main Menu > Address Book to view all contacts.
   Enter a letter, and the phone will display all contacts whose first names begin 
with that letter. For example, to search for “Sam Green,” press the S Key  once. 
All first names starting with “S” or “s” will be displayed.
Note: If you have changed the Display Order setting on your phone to show last 
name first (e.g. “Green, Sam”), then the search function will display all contacts 
whose last names begin with the letter(s) you enter. In this example, typing the  
G Key  would result in the contact being displayed.
   You can refine a search by entering one or more letters that appear subsequent 
to the first letter in the contact’s name. For example, typing “JN” into the search 
field will return contacts named “John” and “Julian,” but not “James.”
