# Import Contacts to Poly Devices

## Objective

Import 8x8 contacts to a Poly desk phone.

## Applies To

- Poly Desk Phones
- Contacts

## Procedure

1. Press the **Home button** on the Poly device.
2. Go to **Directories** > **Ok**.
3. Select **Recent Calls**.
4. Out of this list, highlight a random entry of the CALL LIST.
5. Press **INFO** > **SAVE**.
6. **Save** again.

You have now added the contact to the phone contact directory section. To view them, select **Home** > **Directories** > **Contact Directory**.

The contacts will also be displayed in the main page of the Poly phone.

## Additional Information

We encourage you to use 8x8 Work for Desktop or Work for Mobile when it comes to importing your third-party contacts (see [Importing Outlook Contacts in 8x8 Work for Desktop](/support/docs/importing-outlook-contacts-in-8x8-work-for-desktop)). However, when it comes to physical Poly devices, you will have to use this manual workflow in order to import contacts to your desk phone.
