# HBX - Syncing Client Contacts Directly to Your Handset

```
Revised 18 September 2025
```

 

**Overview**

If you need to save contacts directly on your handset, the Untangled team can assist with this process. Provide your contact list using our CSV template, and we’ll upload it on your behalf.

 

This ensures seamless syncing with your HBX system, allowing your handsets to access the updated contacts effortlessly.

 

💡 **Tip:** If you need the CSV template, please contact our team at **[support@untangled.com.au](mailto:support@untangled.com.au)** or [raise a support ticket](https://knowledge.untangledict.com.au/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en).

 

### Essential Contact Details

When filling out the CSV file, the following fields are required:

**First Name**: John  
**Last Name**: Smith  
**Primary Phone**: 61390650937  
**Mobile Phone**: 61423777777

 

**⚠️ Important Note**

Note: However, if this is a "1300" number, it's crucial to use the correct number format to ensure proper dialing functionality. For 1300 numbers, follow these guidelines:

- **Format:** Enter the number as 1300 XXX XXX (e.g., 1300 123 456)
- **No Special Characters:** Avoid parentheses, dashes, or extra spaces (e.g., 1300-123-456 or (1300) 123 456 may not be recognized correctly)
- **International Format:** If required, use +61 1300 XXX XXX for compatibility

 

Once your CSV file is ready, follow the steps below:
