Adding Contacts

Adding a New Contact

Note that you can add up to 250 contacts.

Any contacts you add need to have phone numbers that meet the dialing rules. For example, a local off-campus number would need to be prepended with a "9" (e.g., 915401234567).

1. Press the Contacts button.
2. Press the New softkey.
3. Edit the appropriate fields (at minimum you need to fill in the first name and number):
• Select a different field by pressing the Up Arrow or Down Arrow of the navigation wheel.
• If you want to delete a character or number from a field, press the Bksp softkey.
• Enter letters into fields by pressing the appropriate dial pad button.
• Tracking Presence will only work if the contact you're adding has the mobility package and you are adding their Avaya extension.
• You can add multiple phone numbers for a contact.
4. Press the Save softkey.

Adding a Contact from Call History

Be aware that if you add a contact from Call History that is off-campus, then you need to prepend a "9" or other numbers in front of the number so that it meets the dialing rules. The phone will not do this automatically.

1. Press the History button.
2. Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow of the navigation wheel to scroll to the sorted call list that has the contact you want to add.
3. If necessary, once you are viewing the sorted call list containing the contact that you want to add, press the Down Arrow of the navigation wheel to select the specific phone number/contact you want to add.
4. With the contact you want to add highlighted, press the +Contact softkey.
5. Edit the appropriate fields:
• Select a different field by pressing the Up Arrow or Down Arrow of the navigation wheel.
• If you want to delete a character or number from a field, press the Bksp softkey.
• Enter letters into fields by pressing the appropriate dial pad button.
6. Once all fields are complete, press the Save softkey.
