Copying Your Address Book from Your Computer to Your Phone

When you are creating new email messages on your phone, it can be a pain typing the recipient’s email address. With Vemail, you no longer have to type email messages; wouldn’t it be nice not to have to type email addresses either? Well, you don’t have to. Vemail provides a solution for this as well. You can copy all the email addresses on your computer to your phone. Here is how you do it -

• With your computer, go to www.VoiceGenesis.Net, click Login, and type in your Vemail User Name and Password. The Login page contains Forgot User Name and Forgot Password links in case you have forgotten them.
• Once you are logged in, click on Address Book.
• There are 5 steps on the Address Book page.
1. In step 1 click on the Important Information link to find out how many contacts your phone can probably hold. These are just recommendations. You may find that your Vemail software on your phone works fine with more or less, depending on how much other software you have loaded onto your phone.
2. In step 2 you need to export your address book from your computer’s email software into a single file. Click on the type of email software you use to get detailed instructions for doing this. Your goal here is to create a contacts.csv or contacts.ldif file and save it on your computer. Make a note of where you saved it.
3. In step 3 you need to indicate the type of email software you used in step 2.
4. In step 4 click the Browse button and select the contacts.csv or contacts.ldif file you created in step 2.
5. When you have completed the previous steps, click the Import button. Depending on your connection speed and the size of your address book, it may take a couple minutes for the process to complete.
• If you are uploading a large address book you may see an Address Book Analysis page. This page contains information and gives you an opportunity to cancel or continue. To continue, click the Continue With Import button. If you don’t see this page, don’t worry about it.
• If you see the Address Book Ready For Phone page, you have successfully copied your Address Book from your computer to the VoiceGenesis.net web site. Now you need to import it from VoiceGenesis.net to your phone. Follow the instructions on the Address Book Ready for Phone page, and then you are done. Your address book will now be accessible in your Vemail software on your phone. Please note that your Vemail Address Book is separate from your phone’s built in address book because your Vemail Address Book can be much larger in many cases. Currently, your Vemail Address Book can just be used for email. See the next section, Creating An Email Address With Your Voice, to learn how to take advantage of your Vemail Address Book to more easily address messages.
