1. In the Salesforce mobile app, navigate to where you create contacts.
2. To open the device’s contact list, tap **Import from Device**.
3. Select a contact.
4. To associate the contact with an account in Salesforce, go to the contact record in Salesforce and add an account.

When importing contacts from a mobile device, these fields are mapped from your device’s contact to the Salesforce contact.

- Home Phone
- Mailing City
