Verizon Transfer Phone Book Hack

Verizon Transfer Phone Book Hack
After an hour of sitting in my car trying to get my phone book to load, I decided to research the problem on the web.
It appears Verizon locks this capability. I have a Treo 700W. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Manually one entry at a time.... I refuse to do that. I called Lexus and they blamed it on Verizon and asked us to call them; called Verizon and they blamed it on Lexus. Got off the merry-go-around in a hurry.
As soon our as contractual terms are up, we are switching carriers. Keeping my fingers crossed, maybe the next carrier's phones might be a little more compatible.

I have a Verizon 650P Treo that uses the Palm OS.
You can group the contacts into categories and send these categories by Bluetooth to the car. One of the categories is all contacts. As far as I know this is the only Verizon phone that allows this. Once the contacts have been uploaded you can use them with any phone.
I do not believe this feature is available on the Windows Treos.
If you could pick up a cheap used Palm Treo you could transfer the contacts from the Windows to the Palm device and upload from there. You do not have to activate the cell service to get this to work.

I just got back from the Verizon store. They said it wasn't an issue of Verizon locking the contacts, it was more of a capability issue with them and Lexus.
They told me to contact Lexus from which they told me I was SOL and to contact Verizon.

It should work with any Palm OS Treo eg. 650 700p 755p.
Cell phone provider should not make a difference. The transfer functionality is based on the Palm OS and has nothing to do with the carrier. As I said before it should work even if the Treo does not have active phone service.

It is definitely the fault of Verizon. They do not allow this capability on their phones (which is why you can have a seemingly identical Sprint or T Mobile phone with this functionality). This was also reviewed in detail in either PC World or PC Mag about a year ago.

For my Moto Razr, it is Verizon's issue that they block the OBX transfer capability. I called Verizon and they confirmed that they block the OBX transfer for my own protection..hahah LOL! In reality, Verizon wants me to subscribe (for more money) to their own service to back up my contacts. I'm switching to a different carrier next time around.

Me too. I already have the ball rolling; convinced our bean counter to start moving our corporate accounts to AT&T. Especially since they have such a convenient world plan for our travelling workforce.
