Contact categories and filters

Within the contacts menu, you will find different categories.

• All contacts are all of the contacts you have access to within your PhoneLine+ account (pulled from all categories)
• Personal contacts are all contacts that you have manually added to your PhoneLine+ account

• Company contacts are other users on PhoneLine+ within your company. You can see the online status of the other users, and their profile picture (if they have one)

• Shared contacts are contacts which have been shared with other PhoneLine+ users within your company. If you added a shared contact, they will appear here as well as in ‘All’ contacts and ‘Personal’ contacts

• Favourite contacts are any contacts that you have added as a favourite within the PhoneLine+ app.
