Oh Sandy....Cool Phone!!! I'll bet you can't wait to get them..I just came from Verizon.com and checked it out..it looks great!!!<br>BTW, I'm sure you already know this, but if not, you do know you can update and transfer your address book through the "backup assistant" on your account at Verizon or on your phone don't you? It will sure save you a lot of time transferring everything by hand.....I'm not sure though if you can transfer any special ringtones or pictures though...??? -- Piggy's Pad

Oh, yes, this I *do* know!! I did this only about 2 months ago. I'm sure if I were younger, I would have done it a long time ago but you know how it is with us "old folks." Takes us a while to get used to the technology. Since we dropped our land line, I've got everyone and everybody saved into my phone...........Gerry, well, not so much. I set mine to update every evening, at some point during the night. I don't do the ring tones thing and haven't even saved any pictures. Since I don't want to pay extra for the text./pics/flicks thing, if Punkie wants to send me a picture, she sends it to my email. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:17:00 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
Cute story about this. My alarm goes off every morning at 5 and I usually get up by 5:15. First thing is heading for the bathroom. Every darn morning, I was hearing something *beep* when I was in the john. And it was driving me crazy because I couldn't figure out what it was. Then, BINGO!!! It was like a light coming on. I just happened to have my phone with me one morning after that disaster with Punkie calling in the middle of the night when Travis was in the hospital. Anyway, the beep I kept hearing was my phone beeping once, followed by Gerry's phone beeping once, when the update was taking place. I know every noise this house makes and when I was hearing something I couldn't identify, it just about drove me over the edge........LOL! (NT) -- Sandy, 7:20:40 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
LOL!!!!!!! Glad you figured it out!!! (NT) -- Kate (again), 7:24:13 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
I have one "special ringtone" it's the Linus and Lucy Theme....I just had to have it...and I've got my phone set to ring with this tone for everyone....I've got several pictures on my phone too...it doesn't cost you anything extra to take the pictures and save them on your phone..it only costs when you send t hem to someone....
what I love is I have different pictures come up for different contacts..that way when someone calls me I can look at the picture and know who it is, because if I don't have my glasses on I can't read the number in the little screen very well..but as soon as I see the picture I know who it is!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:21:55 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
They aren't necessarily pictures of the people either...for Bev (the leader I work with at WW) I have a picture of my Snoopy Phone beause when I think of Bev I think of her being on the phone....RoseAnne is a receptionist I work with, well she is a very layed back person, so I've got this really neat picture of Maggie all stretched out like she doesn't have a care in the world come up for her....even you Sandy, I've got a picture of three kitties on my wall.....one is a calico one is orange and the other is a tuxedo...when I look at it it reminds me of you..so that is the picture that comes up on my phone when I call you or vica-versa!!!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:29:56 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
Oooohh, Kate. I'm touched. That's really neat to know that you have me and my number attached to a picture of 3 kitties. Now I'll think of that every time I call you. (NT) -- Sandy, 10:45:33 am, Sun, 06/24/07
You can also have any Verizon store transfer all your info to the new phone...... :) (NT) -- V~, 10:39:48 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
Yeh, the store can do that. But unfortunately, they now charge $10 to move your contacts list from one phone to the other. Since I've signed up for, and maintained my account, on line, I back up my address book there and it's free. They waive the $1.99 fee as long as I have it on the computer. I can also check my phone calls this way. My bill doesn't include each and every phone call but when they notify me that my bill is available for viewing on line, all of the phone calls are there. We have a contest every month to try and identify each call. And there are times when we just can't do it. (NT) -- Sandy, 10:40:51 am, Sun, 06/24/07
