The contact information that you have on your iPhone 5 makes it easy to send a text message or email quickly, without needing to manually enter a phone number or email address every time that you wish to send a message. But that information needs to come from somewhere, and that typically occurs when you create a new contact. The process for creating a new contact on your iPhone 5 is relatively simple, and can be accomplished by following the short tutorial below.
Add a Contact on the iPhone 5
You can enter as little or as much information as you need to when you are creating a new contact. For example, most of my contacts include only a first name, last name and phone number. And you can even return to your contacts list at any point later to add additional information about a contact as you get it.
