Using Buddy Lists
A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status, or “presence,” you can
monitor. Users update their presence setting (for example, “Be right back,”
“Out to lunch,” or “Busy”), and you can view their status in real time from
your phone’s Buddy Status screen, or from the idle screen (if your buddy has
a Speed Dial Key on your phone). If you like, you can block others from
monitoring your status.
Your phone can “watch” the status of up to eight other phones. These phones
form your “Buddy List.” Your phone can be monitored by up to eight
other
phones.
If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft Office Live
Communications Server 2005, the behavior of presence settings and buddy
lists is different. For more information, see

Communications Server 2005

administrator.
Updating Your Presence Settings
Your presence setting indicates your status (either online, busy, be right back,
away, out to lunch, offline, or do not disturb). Update your presence setting so
that other users can monitor your status from their phones.
When you select a presence setting (other than online), the setting displays on
the status bar on your phone.
To update your presence settings:

Note
Monitoring the status (presence) of contacts is an optional feature that your system
administrator enables. Your system may not support it. For more information,
contact your system administrator.
Note
Depending on the types of phones you monitor, and how they are configured, you
may be able to monitor up to 48 buddies.
