Importing Phonebook - Click HERE for Original Thread

I just recently bought an Aspen White Pearl, tech with entertainment package. It is absolutely incredible!
I was trying to import my phonebook, and it wouldnt let me. So for kicks, I went to handsfreelink.com, to see what phones actually allow you to import your phonebook to the MDX. I couldn't find a single Verizon or AT&T phone that allowed you to do so. They can all be paired, but the phonebook cannot be imported. Why would they create a function that can't be used?

Does anyone have a way around this?

It's likely a software issue with Verizon and other carriers. This problem and a possible workaround have been posted before. Do a search. If memory serves, a member used a Sony Ericsson to act as a link between his phone and HFL just to get the phonebook data.

The phone needs to have a Bluetooth profile named Phonebook Access--there's not many that do

Check you phone and see if a firmware update is available. I had to update my Blackberry (Cingular) to get it to work.

Thank you everyone. I am going to try these out this coming weekend!

I know that the iPhone will import addresses, it is an ATT phone. Like it was said before check for firmware updates on older phones

Where and how did you update your firmware? Is it on the phone or Cingular's website? I have a 7130c
