View Full Version : Pocketmail Question
I'm looking into purchasing one, but I was wondering one thing. The way to send messages is via telephone. Is that the only way? I guess I'm wondering if there is a USB cable you can plug in a computer and download messages that way as well? Kind of like with a digital camera. Those of you who have used a pocketmail, please let me know.

But it works with most digital cell phones. I used my with a Razr on T-Mobile/Cingular.

I always used mine with a regular phone.. There is someway to sync it up with a computer but that is just for data transfer I believe....but it uses an analog type transmission.. Some cell phones you can force into analog mode though....

It comes with a cable to plug into your PC but it is NOT a USB cable. It's a small plug with two of those little screws on the sides, which I think is a bit outdated since my laptop doesn't have the proper outlet.
You have to send them over a phone.
Pocketmail doesn't work with Verizon and I believe sprint because of their network. If your provider uses CDMA instead of GSM, pocketmail won't work unless you force the phone into analog mode.
thanks for the info, guys, that's exactly what I was wondering.
