Adding a Number to a Contact

A contact number may be added as part of the process when a new contact is created. If the contact will only be contacted via email then this step can be omitted.

WARNING: A contact must have either at least one contact number or email address defined against it before it can be saved to the database.
To add a number to a contact:
  1. From the Address Book - Contact Numbers panel, click Add to open the Add Contact Number dialog.

The following fields are available to enter contact number details.

Number

Enter the number of the cell phone on which the person can be contacted.

Number Type

Only SMS is currently available in this field.

Service Provider

This field is not used in this release.

SMS Type

Select either Normal or Flash as the SMS Type. Flash messaging is a method of sending SMS messages to any phone, even if it is locked.

Active

Specify the times between which this phone is active for the receipt of messages sent via Instant Alert. If the message is sent to the phone outside of the period when the phone is active, it is queued and then sent as soon as the phone becomes available again.

  1. Click OK to add the contact number to the contact.
