# Overview of Contacts

More than an address book, Contacts is a place where you can store a wide range of information about the people and businesses with whom you communicate.

For each contact, you can store and use phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, and important dates. You can also add a picture or assign a ring tone to a contact.

From the contact list, you can communicate with people quickly. Tap a contact in the list for a summary of contact information. From there, you can call or send a message.

   - In Contacts, tap Menu > Company Directory.
   - In a new message, tap the To box. Tap Menu > Add Recipient. Then tap Company Directory.
   - In a new meeting request, tap Attendees, tap Add Required Attendee, and then tap Company Directory at the top of the list.
3. Enter the contact name and tap Search.

Notes

- Your device must be set up with a data connection.
- You can search the following information, as long as that information is included in your organization's Company Directory:
  - First name
  - Last name

  - Display name
  - E-mail address
  - Office location
