Tansfer contact list to Digital Voice handset

[MisstickMeg]

Hi @sandra51 

Do you mean you have been able to export your iPhone contacts to your computer and then import them to your DV handset via the hub management page?

[sandra51]

Yes, I exported them using iCloud as a .vcf file

I then opened the hub manager in my browser, wet to contacts, browse for the file and imported it.

It's not perfect as for some reason it has not done both the landline and mobile numbers of some contacts but it's a start.

I am going to try one of the others in that list to export my contacts as a .csv later so that I can hopefully edit it and then convert it to a cfv to see if it will import it more accurately with all the numbers.

[MisstickMeg]

I see. Thank you. I wonder if my 500+ contacts on my phone will all import...

[MisstickMeg]

That's ok, I'm not using Windows but thanks anyway.

[sandra51]

If its activated it will do them I think, all but as I said you will find that you may have to do some editing but it should be easier than manually entering the names and numbers on the phone.

Just as a matter of interest, will the BT 4600 work if the base is plugged into the hub via a phone extension cable ?

And can you use a BT 4600 and a digital voice handset on the same Hub ?

[Keith_Beddoe]

Yes it will.

You can use both but the DV handsets are likely to ring for a short while while the BT4600 deals with the call.

Thanks Keith, sounds good,haven't moved back to BT from PN yet but seriously thinking about it.
Cheers,
Del.

For those wanting to import a contact list it would be worth searching the forum for "vcf" to see others' experiences. May save you re-inventing the wheel.

@MisstickMeg 

I believe there's a maximum of 500 entries for contacts in the SH2.

You can, as @Keith_Beddoe says, but you might find that the handsets don't fully sync. For example, a call answered on the DV phone can show as a missed call on the other.
