Create and Manage Contact Directories for Yealink Phones

By creating Contact Directories within the Weave Portal, each Yealink phone in your office can subscribe to up to 5 shared lists of business contacts. You may want to create a list for insurance payers, billing, hospital contacts, landlords, labs, and other providers.
