IMPORTING AND EXPORTING CONTACTS
You can import contacts from a comma separated values (CSV) le. One way of creating
a CSV le is using Microsoft Excel and saving the le in CSV format.
Enter the names of the contacts in the rst column and their phone numbers or URIs in
the second. Do not use hyphens or spaces in the number. Note that Excel ignores zeros
at the beginning of numbers. The cells must therefore be formatted as text.
It is normally possible to export contact books stored in your PC in CSV format.
The way the number can be written may depend on the SIP PBX being used, but
normally you can use:
• Complete phone number, including country code
• Phone number, including area code
• Local phone number only
• Internal speed dial number (with company’s own PBX)
• URI, e.g. sip:user@company.com
• URI with IP address, e.g. sip:10.10.1.100 (within a local network)
