Here are some tips:
- The nickname you enter is the name that appears onscreen when you make a umi call to or receive a umi call from the contact.
- If you enter an email address for a contact, when you send the contact a video, the person receives the video both through umi and through an email link (see How do I send a video I recorded? and Share a video).
- Check the Make favorite box to designate the contact as a favorite. When you open your call list, favorites appear at the top of the list.
- Use the Ringtone list to select a custom ringtone for incoming umi calls from this contact. This does not affect your default ringtone.
Import Google video chat contacts

You cannot make umi calls between your home umi system and the Google video chat ID you enter here. So, for example, if you are traveling and want to call your home umi number using Google video chat, you cannot do so using the ID you enter here. Instead, you can create a second Google video chat account, enter the ID for that account as a contact in your first Google video chat account, and then add your ID from the first account as a contact in the second account. This enables you to use the second account to call your home umi.
