Linking Contacts
Linking Contact Information
Many 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, Corporate email, and Google. When you 
synchronize your phone with  these accounts, each account 
creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) 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 Yahoo! chat account, when you merge 
these accounts into your Contacts list you can link all of her 
entries and view the information in one record.
The next time you synchron ize your phone with your 
accounts, any updates that cont acts make to email account 
names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your 
contacts list. For more information about synchronizing accounts, see 
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 67.
1. From the Home screen, tap Contacts .
2. Tap a contact name (the name you want to link to 
another entry). Typically this  is the same contact with a 
different name or account information.
3. Press   ➔ 
Link contact.
The contact list is displayed.
Note: Only contacts stored on your device can be linked.
4. Tap the second contact entr y (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 maintain ed in both entries, but 
displays in one record for easier viewing when you link 
the contacts.

Connection bar to view the contact 
information you linked. The contacts and information

in the entry.
Unlinking a Contact
1. From the Home screen, tap Contacts .

want to unlink an entry). 
Note: typically this is the same 
contact with a different name or account information.

Connection bar.

 next to entry in which you 
want to unlink. 
5. At the 
Separate contact prompt, tap OK.
The contact is now separated  and no longer displays in 
the merged record screen. 
Marking a Contact as Default
When you use messaging type  applications, the application 
needs to know which information is primary (default) in a 
contact entry list. For example, you may have three different 
contact records for John Smith, so the application will be 
looking for the “default” number or entry.
1. From the Home screen, tap 
Contacts .
2. Tap a Contact name.
3. Press   ➔ 
Mark as default. The Mark as default 
screen displays radio buttons next to the contact 
names or phone numbers of  all the linked contacts. 
The radio button next to the default contact will be 
green.
4. To change the default contac t, tap the radio button next 
to another entry that you want to be the default. The 
radio button will turn green, then tap 
Done.
