contacts created via iPhone not synchronized with Exchange

Dear All,


I have iPhone4, latest IOS.


I have sync of Contacts, Mails etc. with MS Exchange.


When I create a new contact on the iPhone, this contact is not synced with the Exchange contacts.


I have over 30 contacts like this and I would like to move them to Exchange.


For all new contacts I create via iPhone I would like them to be in Exchange.


Thanks in advance,


Mladen

> This is OK, under contacts, I selected Exchange as default account.


What about moving current iPhone contacts to exchange?


Regards,


Mladen

This is a definite weakness with the iPhone's current funtionality with Exchange. The email option mentioned by longman55 (scary name) might be the most elegant solution out there for filing a contact in both iCloud and Exchange. Alternatively, you can tap groups within your contacts app, then deselect everything but the three options listed under Exchange. Now any contact you create will only be added to your Exchange contacts, with the drawback that it won't be in iCloud (though you could reverse the email trick, sending the Exchange contact to your iCloud email). However, you can then chose all group options on your iPhone and see all your Exchange contacts and iCloud contacts in one list.


Microsoft and Apple, try to make this simpler... It took me WAY TOO LONG to find these half-backed solutions.
