Add contact numbers on Galaxy S2

sinjin_smythe

Hey folks, bought the phone the other day and when setting it up it automatically sync'd all my facebook contacts, that was grand but obviously most of my facebook contacts dont have their phone number listed on their facebook details, so if I try to manually enter a number to a particular contact it tells me "unable to edit SNS contacts on phone". I dont want to have to create a separate profile for one guy with just their phone number and also have them there as a facebook contact as another profile. Really sorry if its been asked before but its annoying, any ideas?

No, you create a contact in your phonebook, and "link" the contact to the facebook profile.

You're gonna have to either manually create every contact again, or try export them from your old phone.

I did this last weekend for my missus. I did it in her Gmail contacts though, coz its easier to type out on the keyboard. Then the Gmail contacts synced with the phone and we just linked them to the facebook contacts then.

ah crap, my old sim wont work on this phone so looks like i'll have to manually enter each person into my contacts. Appreciate the help B_Man, if any one else has an easier way about it please let me know!

Hang on I'll just throw all contacts from old phone onto laptop and forward them from laptop to S2, and then link to facebook accounts.

Can you export your contacts from your old phone? Some phones allow you to either send them via bluetooth, or save them in a text file.

Although, if you can get them onto your laptop, then I suppose that'll solve your problem.

sorted, I sent them through bluetooth as business cards from the old phone and then linked them to facbook accounts on the S2, thats about as eventfull as my Friday night will be! thanks for the help.
