Quick Start Guide
Transferring your Address Book
If switching from a Digital (TDMA) phone to a Sony Ericsson T637
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 Sony Ericsson T637
Next Generation phones such as the Sony Ericsson T637 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 save your contacts to your SIM,
select Menu (you can reach the menu by pressing directly down on the middle joystick
button on your keypad) | Phonebook | Manage SIM | Add to SIM, then enter the name and
number,and select Save. Note: SIM cards are able to save 200 numbers, and only one
number per name.
Setting Up VoiceMail
Please to refer to the Welcome Guide,which you received with your phone,for full
instructions on how to set up your VoiceMail service. For the Sony Ericsson T637, be sure
to follow the “Next Generation” phone instructions and use 1111 as your temporary
VoiceMail password. Note: You’ll want to set up your VoiceMail 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:
espond to text messages, it’s just a dime per message that you send,or you can get a
o r
T
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 Sony Ericsson phone.
