Audiovox CDM-9900

Ok I have an LG-VX440 that I have an for about a year and a half and LOVE. I have the extended battery and between that and normal battery always have plenty of juice. Reception is great on it and so is the earpiece volume so I am very very hesitant to buy another phone b/c this one by far is the best I have ever had. What do you all recommend? I love the features this phone has, although I will admit I wish it was a bit small, my LG is a lil big at times. Plz give me some feedback on your honest opinions in waiting, comparisions etc...so i dont miss the deal they have...THANK YOU! 🙂

I noticed when typing a text message it only allows a 48 character limit per message. IS this a problem with the phone or the way it was designed or just that Verizon wants to make a few extra pennies so one has to type more than one message? I know it used to be 110 character limit. What has happened??

Does anyone know about the usb that according to the info this phone does not support or have a usb cable, does that mean that there is no data cable or no ay to get ur phone hooked to a usb port to transfer data? all other phones seem to have it.

The RF signal seems to fluctuate in an area that I get full bars on my LG3200 and my audiovox 8900 on my 9900 it seems to fluctuate between 2 and 3 bars. IS that a problem?

I was just curious if anybody knows about how many pictures and or videos you can store in the phone..? When it says you can record a 15 sec video does that mean just one or a series of 15 sec videos.. Also does it take up space when you set caller id photos.. Like it you have 25 caller id pics does that count twords your capacity..?

Does any one know if ringtones can be sent as a file attachment from an email or web site to the phone?

When the phone is in the Orginal holster can u flip the phone open. I like being able to because I am in my car alot with work and like to keep my phone cliped to the visor and be able to flip open for speakerphone...?

hey guys. i tried sending myself a ringtone that i made (following some direction from another thread) but i'm not able to send it! i'm getting a "4007 error - illegal operation" or something. anyone have any ideas? i asked customer service, and they guy said you can't send the phone anything but jpg's from the site, which doesnt sound right at all. i basically think he doesnt know ****, and figure you guys could help me more than him. the format is xxxxx.mid for the audio file i upload, but sending doesnt work. any clues?

Does anybody knows what the full retail price is on this phone? I've tried the website and it only shows The 1 and 2 Year pricing, but I just want to buy the handset regular price. can you also tell me where I can buy this phone other than VZ stores?

When composing text messages what do I need to do to go to a new line? I didn't see anything in the manual. I'm new to messaging so I may be missing something obvious...

Is there a way to delete all of the recent calls at once instead of deleting one by one??? if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

I've been wanting to buy this phone since it came out however none of the stores in Grand Rapids, Michigan have it, or even had it. what's up with that?

I'm looking for a kit with USB cable and software that will allow me to create and edit my phone list for my CDM9900 on a PC and download it into my phone. Does the mobile kit offered by Verizon do this? Their web site does not say. Are there other programs that will work for this phone?

Is there a way to set a specific ringer to Restricted calls?? 😲 I haven't found it yet. I can do it for people in my contact list.

I'd like to know how and who anyone spoke to at Audiovox support. I spoke with their tech support in Long Island and it was virtually non-existent. They knew nothing and didn't even know the phone was released by VZ.

I was talking to a verizon rep who said if I bought the office kit with this phone that I could access the internet via my laptop using the built in modem in the phone. He said if I used the setup after 9:00pm it would not count against my minutes and would be free to do.

I can't find anything on the verizon website that backs up his claim. I assume he was spreading cow manure. Am I correct that this can't be done?

Just lower the volume to 'no sound' with the LH side vol buttons. You'll be able to turn on/off the phone with no sound, no vibrate, nothing.

One of the (very few) complaints I read about in the reviews for this phone is of the slow Wap 2.0 Web browsing, as cool as it is. I noticed it myself, and I'm sure a lot of you have as well. Well there's an easy, yet important and necessary step to take in order to speed things up a bit. My apologies if this has been discussed before.
Here's what you do:

If you haven't done so already, and if you're upgrading from an older Wap 1.0 phone, simply call up Verizon Wireless (*611). Tell them to look over your account package and have them UPGRADE your Mobile Web package to MOBILE WEB WAP 2.0. This is something that MUST be done!! It costs the same as the original 1.0 package too! But apparently this step is something that is often overl...

I just noticed that when I am talking on the phone while the other person is speaking and if I start to speak, the other person's voice cuts out for a second and comes back on. The mic seems to be very sensitive. Anyone else have this problem? I never had this problem on any other phone I owned.

🤣 Ok, one of the gripes with this phone is that you can't use the speakerphone while the phone is closed, well we can remedy that one easily. You can fix this one two ways (I don't recommend the first, but some of you may try it).

Either way, you will have to adjust your backlight shut off settings to preserve battery life. Sorry this is so long, but here goes.....

1. Open your phone and look at the bottom left of the LCD. Notice there is a little nub just below the check mark on your "Verizon" logo. This nub hits the switch that tells the phone to go into a "standby" kind of state when you close the phone. This also ends calls. If you file off a portion of this nub, your phone will always stay "on" (kinda). This will allow...
