Question
Hi, thank you for your time.I have ordered a Verizon Wireless LG Voyager 10000 online,should be delivered in a few days. My current phone is a T Mobile Blackberry 8700g. How do I transfer data (phone book addresses from the Blackberry to the new LG? Thanks,Dave

Answer
I'm sorry to say, but you will not be able to use the Verizon phone unless you are also porting your number to Verizon. If you do this, then you will need to take your T-Mobile device with SIM card in it to a Verizon store and then can assist you in moving your informtion to the new phone. There is no way for you to do this without software (that is not free) and a USB cable for the new phone (which is not free) from Verizon. Just have them do it for you. It's much smarter. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
