Title: Verizon Cell Phone Question
Post by: missioncontrol on January 02, 2006, 02:51:52 pm: I just got a new phone the LG VX6100 my wireless provider is still Verizon....

now my question is that if I get a data cable for it can I transfer my pictures to my PC and also transfer ringtones to my phone fprm my pc?

I've read that the phone has those capabilities but verizon prevents it but I havn't really found anything definate on the web....

I was hoping someone here with verizon and the phone knows for sure before I get a cable that won't do anything....

thanks

I'm trying to confirm this myself, so I'll let you know what I find. (Different model from Verizon though)

That right there is your one-stop-shop for cell phone questions. Brand of phone, carrier, whatever other "category" you'd like to take a look for, they've got it sorted out for you, almost to the point of being slightly confusing.
