added to your default account.
If you are using Contacts for the first time, you go through a few different

first time). Follow this procedure to add contacts directly on your phone
after the first time you use Contacts.

TIP When you enter a phone number that requires pauses—for example, a
number for which you need to enter a password or respond to prompts, you
can insert a pause or a stop in the number. To insert a two-second pause, enter
a T where you want the pause to appear. To insert a stop, enter a P where you
want the stop to appear. To dial the next set of numbers after the stop, you will
need to tap the screen.
TIP Use the Reminder field to enter that important message or question you
have for this contact. The next time you send or receive a call or a message to
or from the contact on your phone, you get a notification at the bottom of the
screen. You can add a reminder to a contact at any time (see Assign a
reminder message to a contact).
