Configuring Google Contacts as a Telephone Book
You can set up your Google contacts as an online telephone book in the FRITZ!Box and use the telephone book in one or more FRITZ!Fon cordless telephones.
The FRITZ!Box telephone book and your Google contacts will be synchronized automatically so there is no need for double administration.
Rules for Groups
You can organize Google contacts in groups (see the help for Google Contacts).
- When you set up the FRITZ!Box telephone book, you can specify which groups will be displayed.
- You can set up multiple FRITZ!Box telephone books for Google contacts and assign different groups to the different telephone books.
