Adding
people to your contacts list is pretty straightforward. In Windows
Phone 7 parlance, you create a new contact “card” with a person’s
details. This card isn’t a static rundown like the Rolodex of old. After
you enter information, you can interact with it: Tap a phone number to
call it, an address to map it, or a website to browse it. The People hub
makes it easier to stay in touch.
1. Add a Contact
On the Start screen, tap People.
Flick to All, and then tap New.
Do any of the following:
Tap Name to add your contact’s name, company, or title.
Tap Account to choose an account to associate the contact with.
Tap Phone to add a work, home, or mobile number.
Tap Email to add one or more e-mail addresses.
Tap
Other to add details, including a street or website address, a
birthday, an anniversary, a spouse or child’s name, or a note.
When you finish adding a detail, tap Done.
Continue adding contact information as needed. When you finish, tap Save.
Press the Back or Start button on your phone to exit.
Tip:
To
call one of your contacts by voice, press and hold the Start button,
and then say “Call” followed by the contact’s name. If he or she has
multiple numbers, you can add a clarifier like “Mobile” or “Home.”
