Edit a phonebook entry
You can edit any phonebook entry. However, be aware that
if you download a phonebook from a cell phone again,
the phonebook is erased and replaced with the current cell
phone directory. If you have edited the downloaded entries

changes made to the downloaded phonebook, we suggest
that you edit numbers in your cell phone, then download the
