Verizon Cell Phone Question
« 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

Verizon is CDMA, not GSM.

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.

You’re always in control of your behavior. Sometimes you just control yourself
in ways that you later wish you hadn’t
