From your iPhone Contacts app you can send messages, share a contact or fill your call Favourites. Just like an advanced address book you can register the mobile number home number, and email address of your pals. Not too long ago, to recall a phone number we had to memorize it or turn to an address or note book. Thanks to a term called digital amnesia most of us depend on our digital devices to hold much of the information that years ago we would have retained in our memory banks.
