I am one of those people who are just about ready to switch to Sprint, but I have 5 lines and can't change them all at once. The one thing that would keep me with Verizon is being able to buy a decent Blue Tooth phone (that is DECENT, not the V710), now. But none of the stores have even heard of the XV6600. I can't find anything on the Verizon web site either.

You will continue receiving a bill from Verizon for your telephone service. You will be billed for your DSL through RadixNet.

Verizon Wireless has chosen not to allow the elimination of "Verizon Wireless" from your handset's banner to ensure accurate billing in all service areas. Alteration of the banner would create an inaccurate indication of whether or not the handset is accessing the Verizon Wireless or extended home rate network, or if it is roaming off the extended network.

Direct-dial international calls are placed in a similar manner to domestic long distance calls. An international phone number is generally made up of a country code, a city code and the local exchange number. To place a call outside of the US, you must start with 011. Next, you must use the country code, and then the number you wish to reach. You can find a list of country codes on the International Dialing page.

You can view a virtual owners manual for your phone by going to How To.../Phone /Equipment Manuals. For any other phones please check your manufacturer's website for details.

SyncCell has a file transfer feature that provides a quick and easy method of uploading and downloading videos, photos, and ring tones. However, Verizon specifically disables the file transfer functionality on most of their phones so Verizon customers are unable to transfer video, photos and ring tones. The file transfer limitation is imposed by Verizon and cannot be overcome by SyncCell or any other phone syncing software on the market.

Motorola phones sold by Verizon, Alltel, MetroPCS and Vivo make use of BREW, not Java. There is no code in their firmware to support Java, Java games or Java apps, etc on these phones, so there is no way to enable Java on them.

See also the GAMES page... But in short.. Brew apps/games are locked a the particular hand set via digital signatures, so you can't back them up from one phone, and load them onto another. No one has successfully "cracked" brew 2.x and higher used on current phones, which means, if your wireless carrier uses BREW, then currently the only way to get games and applications onto your phone is to purchase them from your wireless carrier. In the case of Verizon, this means using Get-It-Now.

Verizon and Sprint (except Nextel which Sprint just acquired) both operate on the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network. Verizon generally do not lock the phones it sell, and you may reprogram it either over the air or manually when switching to another CDMA provider. However, in order for it to work properly, a PRL (Preferred Roaming List) should be uploaded into the phone. Sprint locks all the phones they sell and will not release the unlock code or SPC (Service Provider Code).
