4.7 Contact Groups
By organizing contacts into groups, sending messages to several contacts is a lot easier. Using groups to
categorize contacts is also a way of filtering the contacts list so that browsing and finding contacts can be faster
and easier.
Creating a contact group
Create a group of contacts so you can easily send a text or multimedia message to the group without having to
add the addressed contacts to your message one by one.
On the Home screen, slide to the People tab and then tap All People.
Tap or slide to the Groups tab ( ).
Tap New. Enter a group name and then tap the Contact Photo icon ( ) to assign a photo to the group.
To add contacts to this group, tap Add. Select the contacts you want to add to the group,
and then tap OK.
Tap Done.
Sending a text or multimedia message to a group
When sending a text or multimedia message, by default, the message will be addressed and sent to the Mobile
number of each contact in the group. For more information about sending text and multimedia messages, see
Chapter 7.
Filtering the contacts list by group
If you have a long list of contacts, you can more easily browse and find the contacts that you want by filtering
the list to display only a certain group of contacts.
On the Home screen, slide to the People tab and then tap All People.
Tap Menu > Filter.
Select the group name that you want and then tap Done.
