Adding and Selecting Favorite Contacts
You need to have contacts already stored on your device before you can add them as favorite contacts to
the People tab. If there are no existing contacts, create them first on your device. See “Creating New
Contacts” for instructions.
To add favorite contacts:
You can add up to 15 favorite contacts on the People tab.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the People tab.
2. Tap an empty slot. (If slots are occupied, scroll down the screen to find more available slots.)
3. Scroll down the contacts list to find the contact that you want to add to the People tab. If you have a long
list of contacts, you can filter the list first by entering the first few letters of the person’s name in the text
box on top of the contacts list.
4. When you find the contact that you want, tap the contact name.
5. Select a phone number or email address to use when calling or sending a message to the selected
contact.
6. If this contact does not have an associated photo, the subsequent screen lets you take a photo of the
contact or select an existing photo.
7. If you selected the contact photo and it has a large size, you need to crop the photo. On the subsequent
screen, a crop box appears on the photo. Center this box on the person’s face and then tap
Done.
Quickly Calling or Sending a Message to a Favorite Contact
On the Home screen’s People tab, the following icons are shown on each photo to indicate the type of
contact method that is associated to each favorite contact.
Scroll through your favorite contacts by swiping your finger up or down the screen. Place a call or create a
new message to send to a favorite contact by simply tapping the person’s photo.
Note
SIM contacts cannot be added as favorite contacts.
