Joining Contacts
Your device can synchronize contacts with multiple accounts.
When you synchronize contacts with your device, you may have
multiple contacts for one person. When you join contacts, all the
contact’s information displays in one Contact record.
Joining also helps you keep contacts updated, because changes
in the respective accounts are made automatically when you
synchronize with the account.
