Quick Start Guide
Transferring your Address Book
If switching from a Digital (TDMA) phone to a Motorola V400
You will need to manually transfer numbers from one phone’s address book to another by following the
instructions in your phone’s User Guide.
If switching from a Next Generation (GSM/GPRS) phone to a Motorola V400
Next Generation phones such as the Motorola V400 often allow you to save contacts to your phone or to your
SIM card (which is a memory chip that you can remove and insert into future next generation phones that you
use). If this option is available to you, and you think you may decide to change phones (to another Next
Generation phone) at any time, be sure to save all your contacts to your SIM card so that you can simply take
your address book with you. To save your contacts to your SIM, select Menu (you can reach the menu by
pressing the very top button on your phone) →Phonebook →New, then enter the name and number. When you
get to the “Store To” prompt, choose “SIM.” Note: SIM cards are able to save 200 numbers, and only one
number per name.
Setting Up VoiceMail
Please to refer to the Welcome Guide, which you received with your phone, for full instructions on how to set up
your VoiceMail service. For the Motorola V400, be sure to follow the “Next Generation” phone instructions and
use 1111 as your temporary VoiceMail password.
Note: You’ll want to set up your VoiceMail as soon as
possible, since this service is active immediately and callers may be leaving messages for you.
Using Text Messaging
Have you wanted to reach someone, but know that they are in a place where they can’t receive a phone call, or
have you just wanted to pass a quick comment along without making it into a long voice conversation? Text
Messaging may just be for you.
Text messaging is already active on your phone, and any messages that you receive are FREE. This is
especially handy because it means you may be able to receive info alerts for free from sites such as CNN.com,
or the Weather Channel, etc. PC users can also send 150 character-long emails to your phone using your 10
digit telephone number@gocbw.com as the email address. To illustrate, the format of the address would look
something like this:
5135551212@gocbw.com
To respond to text messages, it’s just a dime per message that you send, or you can get a money-saving text
messaging plan if you become a frequent user. To switch to a text messaging plan at any time, simply call
#TXT from your wireless phone and add the service using our automated ordering line. Using text messaging is
easy. See the following instructions, which can be used on virtually any Nokia phone.
