VZW phones and BT object transfer
Anyhow i can send files(pics/mp3/havent ran into a problem) to t-mobile/AT&T/and i think sprint. but i cant to Verizon phones... Now the guy with the username here (verizoncripplesphones) makes sense... Is there any way around that? i want to be able to beam songs to my coworkers but cant seem to. I have a Samsung BlackJack, anyone know why this is that verizon cripples BT object transf, and is there a setting/service menu that you can change?
[anyhow my plan is 5 lines. 1100 min family talk for 69.99 for first 2 lines. 9.99 for each additional. unlimited text (as a feature for 30) and early night and weekend...

Verizon doesn't cripple. I can send mp3, pictures, videos all through bluetooth on my pearl. I've printed using the bluetooth to my printer. The receiving device has to have the ability as well. There are different features for different devices. Make sure the features you want match the device's capabilities. I'm tired of hearing "verizon cripples everything". They really don't.
Verizon only cripples the file-transfer capabilities on their traditional handsets, not their PDAs/Blackberries. The "stated" reason for this is so that you can't push protected files like their Get It Now games, ringers and wallpapers from one handset to another and violate copyright laws, while costing VZW big buck...

Pearl,curve, and moto Q can do object transfer, although i have found that the Q has a special menu you have to use... whereas my blackjack; if bluetooth is on; i can use the alt menu and say send- via bluetooth.
And, to the best of my knowledge, they are the only carrier anywhere that does this (disables bluetooth object transfer). Am I wrong?
1400 anytime mins $119.99 for first 2 lines ($9.99 each additional) includes: unlimited txt/pic/vid messaging, unlimited nghts/weekends, no roaming or long distance charges.
Now you're paying aprxm: $147.95
With verizon you pay aprx: $149.96 (no early nghts/weekends)
Not a huge difference and you get more minutes.
