How to set up two different cards (personal and business) when using two numbers on a single device

There is no direct way to create two distinct contact cards (personal and business) tied to two different phone numbers on a single device in the native Contacts app. However, you can manage personal and business contacts separately by leveraging multiple email accounts with contacts enabled.

Steps:

1. Set Up Two Email Accounts ***: Create or use two email accounts, such as E1 (personal) and E2 (business). Ensure both accounts have the "Contacts" sync option in your device's settings.
2. Organize Contacts by Account
   1. For personal contacts, add them to the E1 account and include Phone Number A.
   2. For business contacts, add them to the E2 account and include Phone Number B.
3. Assign Contacts to the Correct Account: Select the appropriate account (E1 or E2) as the storage location when adding a new contact. This ensures the contact is stored in the correct category.
4. Switch Between Contact Groups: Most devices allow you to filter and view contacts by account. For instance, you can view only E1 (personal) or E2 (business) contacts when needed.
5. Call Using Specific Numbers: While contacts are associated with accounts when making a call, ensure you're selecting the correct line (Phone A or Phone B) for outgoing calls. Many devices support assigning a default number for a contact or allowing you to choose per call.

Considerations:

• Synchronization: Changes made on one device will sync across others where the same email account is configured and contacts are enabled.
• Effort: Manually assigning contacts to accounts initially can be time-consuming but ensures proper organization in the long term.
• Third-party Apps: Alternatively, you can use third-party apps like a CRM or business contact manager to more seamlessly separate personal and business contacts.

This setup is a workaround and requires discipline in maintaining the separation, but it effectively achieves the goal of distinct personal and business contact management.

Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you have Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
