Audiovox CDM-8940

Hey I just got the 8940 about a week ago. I upgraded from an old crappy phone, so basically everything on this phone is really sweet to me. No complaints yet. My first question is whether it costs money to send the pictures from the phone to your computer using the www.vzwpix.com website. Do normal text charges apply? I have the IN network unlimited text package on my phone, just wondering if sending it to that website costs or is free. Also, I just bought the futuredial cable #28 and was wondering what kind of things I can do with it. Can I transfer pictures? Make ringtones? I can't figure out what kind of drivers to get exactly. Somebody help me get the most out of this phone. Thanks a lot.
