- Touch Recent Calls. Next to the name or number you want to add, touch DETAILS.

Favorite contacts
If you had to guess, how many contacts do you have saved in your address book? Now, how many do you actually use on a regular basis?
Scrolling through your entire address book to find one of those contacts can be frustrating. That’s why your CaptionCall phone enables you to mark them as a Favorite to pin them to the top of your Contacts list.
- Touch the Contacts icon to go to your Contacts list.
- Touch the name you want, then touch OPTIONS in the top right.
- Touch Set as Favorite. This name and number will now appear at the top of your Contacts list.
