How Do I Manage My Contacts?

You use contacts to decide which individuals you want to send or receive messages from and the way in which you want those messages to be delivered. All contacts are displayed in the contacts list on you phone, and there are three basic categories, each with its own icon:

natajak user Natajakers - These are other natajak users who will receive messages as texts in the Natajak inbox on their mobile.
sms contact Non-Natajakers - These are not Natajak users and will receive messages as normal texts on their mobile. To send messages to Non-Natajakers you will first need to purchase Text Out credits.
email contact
Emailers - These can be anyone for whom you have an email address, with messages being received as emails on their PC, laptop or even mobile.
A. How do I create a mobile contact?

You use the same processes to set up and manage contacts for Natajakers and Non-Natajakers, and as both receive messages via their phones we can call them mobile contacts. There are 3 ways you can create such contacts:

  • Select 'Add New Contact' from the pop-up menu
  • Select 'Add Phone Number' from the pop-up menu
  • Enter the name of the new contact
  • Enter the code of the country in which they live. The default is 44 for UK
  • Enter the full mobile number of the contact (e.g. 07974 123456). Depending on your phone you may be able to import the phone number from your address book
  • Select 'Options' or 'More'
  • Select 'Save'

D. How do I block a text or E-mail contact?

Blocking a contact temporarily stops you from receiving messages from that contact although that person is not aware that you have blocked them. You can block individual contacts or group contacts. This facility is really useful, for example if you are busy and decide that you want to stop receiving updates from a message board for a short time then you can temporarily block it. When you have some more free time it is an easy matter to unblock the contact.

i. Via the mobile
  • Select 'Contacts' on the main Natajak menu.
  • Scroll to the contact you wish to block \ unblock
  • Select 'Options' or 'More'
  • Select 'Select'
  • Select 'Block\Unblock'
ii. Via the website
  • Log on to the website
  • Go to 'My Pad'
  • Go to 'My Contacts'
  • Find the name of the contact you wish to block \ unblock
  • Click on the status field. A red stop sign sign shows a record is blocked while a frog shows it is unblocked
Tips
  • To protect your privacy, the person you block is not made aware that you have decided to block them. They can therefore continue to send you messages, you will simply not receive them.
  • When a contact is blocked its symbol in the contact list on your phone is a red stop sign
  • When a contact is unblocked its symbol in the contact list on your phone will be reset automatically to show the appropriate icon for the type of contact involved
E. How do I delete a mobile or E-mail contact?
