Getting contacts into your

phone

The first time you open the Phonebook, you get hints

on how to start adding contacts to your phone. This

is a good time to choose a method that suits your

situation and setup. View all import options on

www.sonyericsson.com/support/contacts

.

Example of methods:

Synchronize your phone with contacts

already stored with an online synchronization

service, such as Sony Ericsson Sync or

Google Sync™.
Import contacts from a SIM card. You may

not be able to transfer all information from

one phone to another using this method

because of limited memory on the SIM

card.

The online synchronization method works best
for most users. This way, you always have a
backup online.
