PrivateWave gives you access to three different kind of lists:
- ALL: it lists all the contacts which are in the mobile address book, ordering them in the very same way.
- KNOWN: it shows only known contacts (registered or not) according to PrivateServer 's knowledge. This means it is a list of the contacts that are recognised by the server and thus can have a status.
- FAVOURITES: it reads the contacts marked by you as " PrivateWave favorites". It's a selection of contacts you choose to have apart, in order to make speed calls.
It's possible to use each list for both Secure Calls and Secure Messages.
Main differences amongst the lists
The contacts lists are not at all similar. One big difference is they are not always editable, the other one is what they show.
The ALL list has one number per each contact. If the contact has multiple numbers, then he appears just once in the list. When selecting it for secure call or in order to put the contact to the FAVORITES list then you are prompted to choose the phone number to be used.
The other lists (KNOWN and FAVOURITES) can show only one number per entry.
"All" Contact List
As a matter of fact it's not possible to manage any contact detail in PrivateWave . To change anything about one of your contacts you have to access Mobile Contact List and operate in there following your specific platform instruction. Once you saved your changes, they would be immediately available in PrivateWave Contact List. As a rule of thumb, consider that PrivateWave sorts the contacts in the same way the address book of the mobile does.
"Known" Contact List
This list is very useful in everyday use, because it shows contacts which are recognised by PrivateServer as user already accounted. This means that "Known" contact list offer you one list populated by contacts that share the same PrivateServer with you. In a quite populated device contact list, this filter can really make the difference.
This contact list, combined with "Contact Status" indicator (please check latests paragraph in current page), gives you the exact feeling about who you is actually available for contact before you call him.
Known list contains single virtual phone number.
From this list you can add a known number to the FAVOURITES lists as well.
"Favourites" Contact List
As a matter of fact it's not possib
PrivateWave offers you "Favourite contacts" list as a speed dial feature.
Suggestion
"Favourites" contacts list contains single virtual phone number. If a contact had multiple numbers, then you would have to choose the specific phone number that you want to add to favourites, so that the same contact can appear in this list twice but with two different numbers.
The "Favourite" entries are copies of the original contact stored in the Address Book. Thus any change made to the original contact will NOT be reflected on the one in the favourite list!

Contact statuses
Each name in your list may show a Contact status beside itself. The contact status legenda is shown below:
 | Online | The contact is reachable. You can make a secure call to the user. |
 | Offline | The contact is not reachable, because is not under network coverage or is offline. You can try to make a secure call but the call will likely fail |
 | Warning | The contact is not reachable using a full secure call, but you can call him using one Sip Trunk configured on your server. |
 | Error | There is a comunication error between your phone and the server. The contact status is unknown, anyway you can try to make a secure call |
