Hey all,

I just started a new job and I'm looking for a clean way to put all these new contacts under one entry in my phone. I'd LIKE to have one listing for ABC Company, then several employee phones or extensions, with their names under the one, master listing.

Its this possible? Our even a different or better way to set this up?

Thanks.

Go to your phone, then menu, then people. (hit the second from the left icon at the bottom, looks like a roledex with a page partially up) Set up a new group.

^that is the best way to set it up for sure.

You "could" set it up as one contact but I am not sure if there are limits to how many numbers you can add...and you would not be able to specify who each number is.

The group method is really best.

You could also set them all up and "link them" into one contact.

basically create a master ABC co contact
then each individual contact...then link them all to ABC using the link function
