This Google search should prove interesting to those who wanted Bluetooth capability.

What works the best? I just need to sync contacts between my 9900 and Outlook. Real world experience would be helpful i.e bugs, crashing, etc. 🙄

is it normal for the phone to get hot? Also, I have it in a leather case (that I got from Verizon, so it's supposed to work with the phone). Do I need to worry that I will either burn out the phone or start a fire?
It's not too hot to hold, but it is noticably hot.

I was about to renew my Mobileweb4u subsription (upgrade from 1 month to 1 year) when I noticed that they've raised the price from c. $25/year to 39.95 in the last couple of weeks. Just so you all know.

It's a great service but they seem to know it and their gouging bugged me ... so I cancelled.

Other people have posted about the 9900s being in stock at independent dealers. This may be the only way you can get them except through ebay. If any of you knows anyone interested in this phone, they are available in San Diego County at: Mobile Direct (619-482-3304) and Soundwave Wireless (858-292-9917). I talked to both of these stores and they have them in stock. However, you must be establishing a new contract with them. I thought about canceling my current contract but was told if I did I could not come back to Verizon for 6 months. Again, this is for new service-not upgraders!

Oh, they are free after $50 rebate.

I have a question. I went into my local Verizon store and they no longer have the Audiovox 9900 and don't appear to be getting any more. No one there was able to explain to me why it had such a short run. Does anyone know anything about this? I thought it was such a popular phone (my wife and I have them, but were thinking about getting one for a friend) and it seems odd to discontinue it before the holidays.

Can you make your own banners on this phone i have yet to find the option on my 9900 please someone get back to me on this thank you! 😁

As many of you might already know in the VZW website...when the zipcode of 99999 was typed into the box it said shopping in null, which gave you access to the VZW page of every phone they had. Including discontinued phones and future released phones. For example with the LG 7000 the phone was in the zip code 99999, 2 weeks before its release, along with many other phones that have appeared there before release date. Now when you type 99999 it says "We currently do not have service for zip code 99999." I find that very strange. Why would verizon take that off?

im considering getting this phone on ebay but was concerned that with it being discontinued it would be a hassle to replace with insurance in the future....does anybody know how the replacement of a discontinued phone works???

Quick question. Just wanted to know why should I get the audiovox 9900 and not the Moto 710?

what is this speed equivalent to?
ISDN or better?
and in practicality, what might I expect from a data call connected to my laptop?

Register your cellphone # on the NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST 888 382-1222 or you will be recieving solictations on your phone... 😁

Every time I try to retrieve the message, I get a "network authentication failed" message.

Whats the deal with that?

is it possible to answer if the handsfree kit is in the plug. basically hit the key on the side to answer if the setting is possible.

🤭 🤭 i realize that this topic has been exhaustingly discussed at length because i have read all of the 15 or so pages in reference to it, however, i have been very unsuccessful (to the tune of a few dollars) in sending mp3 ringtones to my 9900. i followed all of the outlined steps (even the ones on HoFo) but i always get the same "attachment dropped:< song.mid > of type:< audio/x-midi; name=song.mid >" message. i used dBpoweramp to change the clip to 24 Kbps, mono, and 22050 hz with a final size of about 88.4 KB. so basically this is an SOS because i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but anyone's help/ input would be greatly appreciated .. thanx 🙂

does anyone know if the real audio ringtones are available for this phone yet? i had downloaded sony on my last two phones and only my LG 4500 had the real song tones available...just wondering before i spent the money to download it...thanks...

The other night I went to Get It Now on the 9900 and saw under the ringtone sites that one of them scrolled across the screen - just above the one use $1.99 - Free Expires 12/18/04.

What does this mean? Could I get ringtones free until 12/18/04? Could I get one ringtone free? Would the ringtones downloaded free not work after 12/18/04?

As I tend not to trust Verizon I did not try it just to see what would happen. Does anyone know?

I don't seem to be getting enough life out of my standard battery (c. 2 days with minimal use - maybe 20 minutes talk maximum). Do those of you who have the extended battery on the phone find it much bulkier and heavier than with the standard battery? I know the Audiovox 9500 (a GREAT phone) was like a small tank with the - very necessary - extended battery.

I remember reading somewhere that the Audiovox CDM9900 is the same phone as another distributor's phone. I have a the Datapilot universal kit. It does not directly support Audiovox but does support Motorola, LG, Samsung, Sanyo, NOkia and Sony Ericsson.

Before I open the box, I'd like to know if I'm covered by another brand name / model.

Thanks in advance for the help!
