Mobile Office for CDM9900 ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. I have been looking for an interface cable and software for my Audiovox CDM9900 so that I could occasionally synchronize the phone's address book and SMS listings with Outlook Express (or something similar) loaded on my PC. I see on the Verizon website that a software/cable kit is available for my phone. Does anybody know if this kit will also facilitate adding a different ring tone or two from my PC to the phone?

A. The method outlined in a thread on Howardforums appears to require the phone's web browser AND of course, web access on my calling plan. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box about this phone stuff. Does the workaround you're hinting at involve the phone's debug menu? Thanks for you wee bit 'o help. Over the past two+ years I have been "surfing" the internet 10 to 15 HOURS (600 -900 minutes) each WEEK through my cell phone coast to coast and border to border and my recommendation for Internet access is as follows: Get the Verizon nationwide "America's Choice" Plan. You will have Unlimited free Night & Weekend minutes, unlimited free mobile-to-mobile minutes, and free internet access with the Verizon "Quick 2 Net" (Q2N). Also, Verizon is your ISP at no additional cost. There is no need to pay monthly for an ISP like AOL or Earthlink unless you just want to keep the same email address, or you have a "home base' with landline connectivity. With two mouse clicks, Verizon internet access takes about 8 seconds then the Verizon "QuickLink Mobile" software starts Internet Explorer and your Home page begins to load. Or, if during the day when minutes are ticking, you can click on Outlook Express (or other Email program) as your Home page loads and send/download your email in a minute or two. The America's Choice Plan is $39.99/mo w/400 regular minutes; or $49.99 w/500 regular minutes, or $59.99 w/800 regular minutes, etc. Your only other expense would be a one-time purchase of the Verizon "Mobile Office Kit" for about $40 which I highly recommend. It will have; (1) a cable to connect your phone to your laptop (or desktop), (2) "Quicklink Mobile" software to automate internet access, along with other utilities, and (3) the Verizon/Smith Micro Venturi accelerator software which works on the Verizon low speed Quick2Net (Q2N), as well as on the current Verizon high speed data net now called "National Access". For any internet access on any Verizon data network you must have a digital signal. Internet "access" on the "Q2N" is free with ANY Verizon Wireless account. "Time" on-line on the Q2N is also free when accessed during free minute nights, weekends and certain holidays. During the day, time counts against regular Plan minutes. There are three plans (extra $$) for access to the high speed "National Access" net. However, new subscribers are automatically having a feature called "National Access Extended Service Access" added to their America's Choice Plan at no monthly cost when they purchase their phone and service. Having this feature provides "backdoor" internet access for just "Minutes of Use" on your Plan. Use of the high speed data network (and the Q2N) is therefore free on nights, weekends and certain holidays with an America's Choice Plan.
