Audiovox CDM-9900
Audiovox 9900 Discontinued?
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.

Hello Brian,
These phones are still available. Althought not through B&M Verizon shops. It is still available via. internet (in some zip codes, I'm in Michigan) or direct though Verizon over the phone. I just ordered two 9900's last Wednesday (24th)from a Verizon customer service person (phone), without any problems and recieved them yesterday, activated them last night over the net and they are working great today.
These phones are in limited supply although the rep say they did have plenty to get through to next year (estimated). Audiovox is getting out of the cell phone game, from my understanding. Although I do think this phone will be supported because it's essentially a Toshiba phone.
Good luck,
Tom

There have been MANY conversations on this forum related to if the 9900 is discontinued. Search through them, and you can decide for yourself if you think it is, or will be discontinued.

Just ordered Audiovox CDM 9900 through verizon telesales department. The rep said he had about 1,500 left in stock.

I bought mine for $69 with a two year contract. You can order it online and just use a zip code in Michagan area (and surrounding states.) You will need to order it with a local phone number in that area, but you can always change it or port it after you recieve it. I just bought mine last week. đ

A week after receiving the 9900 via mail from my company's Verizon rep, I helped a friend pick out his upgrade phone last night at a VZwireless store. He ended up going with the LG 6100, because it's tri-mode where the 7100 isn't. The stores don't offer the 9900, as you already know, but the employees there seemed to think it was the best phone available.
I have to agree. I did about three weeks' research before upgrading, and have toyed around with a 7100. The 9900 is much more solidly built, you can customize it so there's very little candy junk within the menus, and the battery life is listed as better than the 7100.
You'll be able to find parts for it. It's the best phone Verizon offers right now.

FWIW, I got the same story from my local Verizon store today.
The store manager said they were discontinued. He check the national "warehouse" and said there are 77 left nation-wide.
He had no explanation for them being discontinued.
...
From my experience with the VZW reps, they are in limited quantities (yes, discontinued) I don't know about the "77"...cos that doesn't really sound right. However they still have an ample amount set aside to fulfill the manufacturer's warranty and insurance issues.

I was able to order one on my ne2 on Dec 6 & had it by the 10th. After using my 9900 to make a call and seeing the screen, my wife wanted one. So I called requesting a 9900 for my wife's new Nokia on the 15-day trial option.
The word was that there are no more. This may not mean that they don't have any in reserve, but they are definitely not available for sale. The Verizon rep on the phone said that Verizon employees couldn't even get a 9900, including herself đĸ .
I was also told that Verizon will be discontinuing all Audiovox phones. Too bad! What an awesome phone this 9900 is! Only the Nokia may have comparable reception.
I will be posting a review & some stuff in the forum when I have time.

The only place I know you maybe able to find one is in ebay. I bought one not long ago so I can give it to my best friend as xmas present, you just got to be careful before you buy the phone, make sure you check the seller's rating and feedback from other buyers.
It is too bad that they discontinued this phone. I travel a lot and I have not had any problem as far as reception. I can even talk on the phone while I was in an elevator where other people cannot. I just think this is the best phone for the money that VZW has to offer.

I've seen them on the West Coast at various stores including the Verizon booth in my local Wal-Mart. They seem to be in the range of $129.00 with a $50.00 mail-in rebate.

Just call Verizon Wireless to order...It depends on the area you are in as to wheather they have any in stock. Each goes through different warehouses. I spoke with 2 people in customer service who informed me they had none, but they were taking names for the next shipment. One had said she has it and waited 3 weeks for it. When I called wireless sales for my area I was informed they had them and I had mines the next day. đ
...
How did you do it? What area are you from? I tried upgrading my phones online by putting in a midwest zip. The order got kickbacked to west coast where it was cancelled because stock was depleted. I talked to several telesales people who kept transferring me back to the west coast. Every time I am asked my cell numbers (SOCAL) I get kicked to some west coast rep who tells me there aren't anymore. Does anyone know the secret to getting these besides ebay? đĄ

Verizon doesn't seem to have anymore 9900s. Try going to a Circuit City or some other supplier and have them do a computer search of all the stores in your area or the entire state.
I found the last phone that Circuit City had in the state of Florida that way. They sent it down to the local store by Fed Ex. Great service by them!

Went to a Verizon store in Voorhees, NJ yesterday. They had the 9900 on display but were sold out. The salesperson ordered one over the phone for me and I received it by FedEx today.
...
I just ordered a new 9900 from Verizon's website. I used the city of Bethel Springs TN. I haven't received it yet but the order was accepted. It's supposed to be here in 2-5 business days.
...
I tried this a month ago. Everything looked fine until a few days later. I was told the order was cancelled. If you are doing an upgrade, your area code will give you away. I tried to order online from a midwest zip code. The order was forwarded to the west coast warehouse where it was cancelled due to depleted stock.
...
I hope you're right about this aes123. This phone is still showing as in stock in my area (zip 64152), but if I tried to do the upgrade thru my on line account, it keep giving me system error. âšī¸
I called CS and was told they no longer have the phone available. I'd also tried calling Internet sales and they don't have the phone in stock either. They told me the department that manages the Internet website supposed to take it of the website yesterday but somehow they did not. They also received an email yesterday telling them the phone is no longer available. I tried calling direct sales and they also don't have the phone available anymore. đĄ
I'm not sure how you placed your order, but I sure cannot get the phone anymore.
