Slydial works like a charm. I wish I had this app during my last two relationships! ---

You can dial peoples voicemail directly from your own voicemail (I used to do it all the time on my Verizon line). ---

I used to use desktop manager but since i put on google sync i just exported all of them from outlook to google with ease and it works just as well. Anyone not using BES should definitely give google sync a shot. ---

Verizon just sent me a replacement 8830, and I need to know how to get the internet working. When I got this phone a year ago there was some option I had to turn on and I can’t remeber where it is or what it was. Help me out I don’t feel like calling verizon! ---

The little globe logo for the internet is hidden, and I can’t setup email forwarding to my phone via my gmail account. edit: figured it out, options-advanced options-host routing table-bb menu key-register now. Had to do this even though it was already registered on the network. ---

> [@9c1](#): > > I heard OS 4.5 is out for the 8830. You loading that? i went to do it last night, but there was some weird error with the installer. I’m going to play around with it more tonight. Any idea if I can tell if I have GSM capability on here? Its a demo account given to me from VZW, so I’m not worried about charges, but I would like to make sure it has the capability. I dont really want to bug the Director that set it up for me about something this small, he’s already doing me a favor just by setting me up with it. I’ve got a SIM card in it. I suppose I will just have to fly out and hope for the best. ---

Is there a way to force it into GSM mode in the options? That would tell you if it works. ---

So i’m on a family plan with my mother, sister, etc… I want to change plans to get on a family plan with my Fiancee Is there a way to do that and be eligable for current phone deals? We would be signing a new contract for our family plan, so i’m not sure if that qualifys because we would both be moving from a different plan. Help! ---
