Mobile Office for CDM9900

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

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?

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.

Could you be a little less vague?

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.

Hmmmm! >:^) I'll give this a go tomorrow. Right now, vzwpix is under
"maintenace" and will reopen Dec 13. Thank you.
