Where do Contacts sync from

Post by oostburg » Mon Jun 15, 2015 5:42 pm

My Contacts list in the mobile app is full of contacts. They seem to be almost any person I have ever called and/or emailed. Yet the Contacts in My Ooma only list the ones I have input manually. Where is the Android app getting these contacts from? Can I mass delete them easily?

They are phone contacts right?

The app is getting these contacts from your android phonebook. AFAIK permission is asked for this when installing the app.

This is a good feature. I'd like my much more complete phone contact list synced to my Ooma home phone contact list without putting them in one-by-one. Is this possible? If not: feature request!

Export from phone to outlook csv or something and then import into my Ooma
