Sharing Contacts

Question

I just purchased three licenses for Zoiper and have it installed on two different computers and my Android phone.  I am new to Zoiper and VoIP technology, but almost everything is working perfectly for all three devices.  I am the sole user of all three machines, but I am finding that I have to re-add all contacts onto all devices.  It looks like Zoiper has the ability to share contacts in some manner, but I am not sure how to go about configuring this setup.

I have two licenses for Zopier Biz and one license for Zopier Premium for Android.  It looks like at least Zopier Biz is able to share contacts in some way.  Note though that I do not have a server to make use of the LDAP option.  On the Advanced tab of the Contacts preferences, I am seeing Contact server options.  Is there a contact server available that I may store and share all my contacts, or is this intended for a server I must setup on my local network?

Any info you can provide is appreciated.

Thanks.

I discovered the answer to this on my own.  The problem I was facing was that I immediately changed the Zoiper Biz skin to one of the Zoiper Phone Interface skins.  It turns out that this hides a very important setting that is required to store and retrieve contacts from the Zoiper Biz server.  Due to this, the option to Save contact list onto the Zoiper Biz server will do nothing without you having previously created a Zoiper account.  This is a known issue with the Phone Interface skins, and this had me terribly confused.  After changing the skin back to the default skin, I had noticed a new menu item under settings where I was able to create a Zopier account.  Once I created this account, my contact list was then shared by all Zoiper Biz clients I own a license for.

This does not do anything for the Android app, however.  It will not use the Zoiper Biz server at all.
