You can import your phone contacts directly from the settings menu.

​
Import Process

The Dex app will ask you for permission to access your contacts. You can then select from a list of your phone contacts in alphabetical order that you would like to add to Dex. After you have selected your contacts to import, you have the option to set keep-in-touch reminders so you won’t forget to reach out.
