Should I use the Address Book ? If you are familiar with using the iPhone or iPad address book then you should keep right on adding

contacts in your iOS device and import them singly or en masse into Phone Tree. If you don’t need

contacts other than in Phone Tree you can add them in Phone Tree and still have the option to save

them to the address book.

iPad Address Book Contact

If you do use the address book then when you send

sms or iMessages the recipients’ names will appear

not just their contact number. This can be quite

helpful as an aid to knowing that the recipients are

as expected. In addition the app will use a contact’s

photo from the Address Book if they

have one.

contact was added from your Address Book and that contact has a

picture. Any new picture you apply in the Address Book will be

used.
