Re: [PrePaidCellPhones] Data Cable & Software for PN 215/Audiovox 8915

Hi -
I can't speak to your exact model of phones, but I can say that getting
Bitpim to actually work on any phone can be a "really" long frustrating
process. I have a Motorola 875 phone and "did" eventually get to where
I could transfer ring-tones and pics, etc. via the USB cable, but it
took many, many hours of reading the cell phone forum posts and
downloading patches and utilities and fiddling with settings. And I am
a very computer literate person.
If enough of the forum posts say it can be done - then it probably can.
You just have to follow all the links and instructions.
I think that generally, you can't reallly hurt a phone by just
transferring tones and pics to/from it. Just be careful when you start
installing Java applications (like games), since they might mess up the
phone's operating system.
The best I can suggest is to Google, Google,Google about your phone till
you find some answers.

Good luck,
Donk
