Linking People 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
Microsoft account, Outlook, Google, AT&T Address Book,
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. When you synchronize your
phone with these accounts, each account creates a separate
contact entry in the People list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a
regular email account that you maintain in Hotmail, but also
has a Facebook account under her maiden and married
name, as well as a Google 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 synchronize your phone with your
accounts, any updates that contacts make to email account
names, email addresses, and so on, automatically update in
your contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Synchronizing Accounts”
on page 52.
