You can do this quite conveniently by saving your list of PC contacts off to a non-functional folder, deleting all contacts you don’t want on your phone from the active contact list on your PC and then syncing.
The trick is to make certain the folder or file that holds your PC contacts has a recent time stamp so any changes on the PC will be treated as the correct data. This way, any entries on the iPhone that are in the “new” contact location on your PC get deleted. At least that’s what I did with my Windows Mail (Outlook Express) contact list and it worked flawlessly. ------------ To You & Yours: A Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !!! Holland & Bill - "`There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,' returned the nephew. `Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!'" - "A Christmas Carol," 1843, Charles Dickens From: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Question About Contacts Hello, all. I posted this a few days ago but didn’t get an answer, so here goes again. I have nearly 1,000 contacts on my phone, primarily because I have an Exchange account with MS Outlook and have Outlook set to put people I reply to in my Contacts. I plan to change this. However, I can’t figure out a way to get rid of all of the Outlook contacts from my phone, unless I go in and delete one at a time. Does anyone have a better idea? I know that I need to get rid of at least 800 contacts. Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
