Setting up Contact Groups on the N95

The N95 allows you to set up specific contact groups easily so you can access friends or colleagues in one fail swoop

Published on Jun 13, 2007

If you have several people you like to contact all at once, for example a sports team you are involved with or a particular group of work colleagues or friends, it is easy to set up a group on your Nokia N95 and then contact them all at once.

Set up a group

Go to Contacts. If you don’t have a shortcut set up for this press the Nokia Menu key to the left of the directional keys and choose Contacts
Press the Scroll key right to go to the groups listing, and then use the left Selection key to choose Options then New Group
Write a name for the group, then use the left Selection key to choose OK

Add members to the group

Open the group you have created by clicking the navigation key then choose Options and then Add members
Scroll through your contacts listing and press the navigation key every time you highlight someone who should be in the group. A cross will appear by the entry.
When you have chosen everyone who needs to be in the group select OK. The members will be listed within their group

Edit groups

Go to Contacts. If you don’t have a shortcut set up for this press the Nokia Menu key to the left of the directional keys and choose Contacts

Press the navigation key right to go to the Groups listing

Choose the group you want to edit by highlighting it with the navigation key, then choose Options with the left selection key

Choose Rename to give the group a new name. Just type the new name then choose OK with the left Selection key
Choose Ringing tone to select a special ringtone for group members. Use the navigation key to listen to the available tones, and choose Select with the left Selection key when you find the tone you like
To add a member to a group open it by clicking the group name, then choose Options with the left Selection key then Add members and choose members in the same way you did when setting the group up – see above
To remove a member from a group open it by clicking the group name, then highlight a group member with the navigation key. Now choose Options with the left Selection key then Remove from group. You will be asked to confirm. Choose Yes with the left Selection key or No with the right selection key

Send a text or email message to the group

To send a text or email to the whole group highlight the group name then choose Options then Create message
Choose the message type – Text message, Multimedia message or E-mail – and the message creation software will start to run.
If you are creating a text message and a group member has several phone numbers to his or her name you will need to select the numbers individually by picking from a list.
