Local Directory
Yealink phones maintain a local directory that you can use to store contacts. You can store up to 100 contacts per
handset, each with a name, a mobile number, and an office number.
Contacts and groups can be added either one by one or in batch using a local contact file. Yealink phones support
both *.xml and *.csv format contact files, but you can only customize the *.xml format contact file.
