Cleaning up my contact list

My cheapie phone holds 1000, and under each you can put 5. So up to 5000 numbers, and I have a backup plan. Maybe get a different phone with your carrier?

Good Advice!

Use google to download the contacts to your email, use google voice as your texting/call app (iPhone or android). With Google voice you can use your google contacts that are not in your phones internal memory, as well as do text/call forwarding with your existing number.

ThreAD is not a bad word around here

Please remove Wakeup from your list.......I never liked him.......and he is an ashoe

I would, but my dad is his gardener...and I'm their translator...

Better not delete me I still haven't told my joke yet.

Chance?

This also means that I will re-screen you should you try to set up an appointment again. If you have seen me before, I will be keeping your information for future reference requests. Originally Posted by YummyMarie

Not everyone checks for ads on the various websites, besides it's a nice personal touch as I never send out mass emails. The reason I save their name is they usually call back after I give them the screening requirements and my availability, and I want to be able to remember who's calling for my convenience and for better customer service. Once a week or if I have time to kill whilst I'm out, I'll search on N/S and delete old contacts. No sense in having a bunch of clutter in my phone.

Also, since our client lists are our business, I strongly suggest backing it up. It doesn't have to be on a super server somewhere, it can be on something as innocuous as a jump drive. Personally, I use a Blackberry so my contact list, email and access to the various websites are all on one device. I always, always, always check before I leave anywhere, the nail salon, a restaurant, ANYWHERE, I check to see that I have it with me, and I leave it in my car for any new client. You never know.

I would applaud any lady who did all that

A spreadsheet on excel will solve this problem. There are two other secure provider resources to keep track of things with too. I am thinking your "do not see" list is more important than past clients list to keep.
