Quick Start Guide
Transferring your Address Book
You will need to manually transfer numbers from one phone’s address book to another by following the instructions in your phone’s User Guide.
If switching from a Next Generation (GSM/GPRS) phone to a Motorola V505
Next Generation phones, such as the Motorola V505,often allow you to save contacts to your phone or to your SIM card (which is a memory chip that you can remove and insert into future next generation phones that you use). If this option is available to you,and you think you may decide to change phones (to another Next Generation phone) at any time, be sure to save all your contacts to your SIM card so that you can simply take your address book with you.To use your SIM for storing contact information,press the top
middle soft key | Phone book icon (press the top right soft key to select) | press the top middle soft key | New,then enter the name and number | SIM in the Store To” category | and press the right top soft key to select “Done”. Note: SIM cards are able to save 200 numbers,and only one number per name.
Setting Up Voice Mail
Please to refer to the Welcome Guide, which you received with your phone, for full instructions on how to set up your Voice Mail service. For the Motorola V505, be sure to follow the “Next Generation”phone instructions and use 1111 as your temporary Voice Mail password.Note: You’ll want to set up your Voice Mail as soon as possible, since this
service is active immediately and callers may be leaving messages for you.
Using Text Messaging
Have you ever wanted to reach someone, but know that they are in a place where they can’t receive a phone call, or have you just wanted to pass a quick comment along without making it into a long voice conversation? Text Messaging may just be for you.
Text messaging is already active on your phone, and any messages that you receive are FREE. This is especially handy because it means you may be able to receive info alerts for free from sites such as CNN.com,or the Weather Channel,etc. PC users can also send 150 character-long emails to your phone using your 10 digit telephone number@gocbw.com as the email address. To illustrate,the format of the address would look something like this:
5135551212@gocbw.com
T
o r
espond to text messages, it’s just a dime per message that you send,or you can get a money-saving text messaging plan if you become a frequent user. To switch to a text messaging plan at any time,simply call #TXT from your wireless phone and add the service using our automated ordering line. Using text messaging is easy. See the following instructions, which can be used on virtually any Motorola phone.

How to Use Connect2Home Calling
SM
Connect2HomeSMcalling is a feature included with USA Nation bundled wireless rate plans which allows you to make free voice calls from your GSM wireless phone to your home phone number. If you’ve selected a rate plan which includes Connect2Home calling, this service should be available for use the next business day after ordering. Once the service is active on your account, you will receive a text message to your wireless phone to confirm.
How to place a call using Connect2Home service:
To place a Connect2Home call, dial “22” then press the “Send” or “Enter” key to place a call to your designated home number. Calls you make by dialing “22” will automatically be sent to your home number (your home number is the local, residential Cincinnati Bell Telephone phone number that you provided to Cincinnati Bell for billing purposes when you activated your wireless phone.)
If you move,you can change the telephone number that you designated to be your home phone number twice per calendar year by calling CBW Care at (888) 391-3925.
IMPORTANT! Calls t
o
“22”
will always be free calls,and the minutes used will not subtract from the minutes you have available in your wireless rate plan.If you dial directly to your 7- or 10-digit home phone number, these minutes will not be free
Page 11
Page 10 v505
and will count against your plan’s available minutes. Likewise, minutes used when dialing from your home to your wireless will subtract from your plan’s available minutes.
Cincinnati Bell reserves the right to disconnect the Connect2Home feature at its discretion.
Interactions with other telephone services:
Line Number Blocking or Out of Area: When you dial “22”,Cincinnati Bell must be able to read the Caller ID from your incoming call in order to connect the call to your designated home number. In certain coverage areas and/or if you have “Line Number Blocking”service active on your wireless phone, calls will not carry Caller ID information. In these instances, you will hear the following message:
“We’re sorry, your Connect2Home free call may not be completed at this time due to insufficient incoming Caller ID information. This may be just a temporary problem due to your current wireless network connection. Please try your free call again at a later time.”
If you have “Line Number Blocking”set up on your wireless phone, you do not need to eliminate this service. Instead, simply dial *82 513-241-3030 to use Connect2Home service. This will be the phone number that you dial each time you place a call home instead of dialing “22”. It may be easiest for you to use this number if you program the entire number sequence into your address book.
Call Forwarding: Call Forwarding should not be used to forward any calls to your home number, to “22”, or to 513-241-3030. Calls placed using the Call Forwarding feature will be billed the normal call forwarding charges ($.07/min).
Billing detail with Connect2Home:
Calls made to “22” or 513-241-3030 will appear on your monthly detailed bill. Connect2Home calls will be identified as shown below.
