yea with a pin # for the phone you can probahly do that, or a password that you put on it.

I don't think this situation is password protected. I see the lady at the front desk plugging thes phones into her computer via usb, then she down loads all my supervisors and foreman into the nextel. Anyone can call me on the nextel, but I'm restricted to the numbers that are programmed in my nextel.

Believe it or not that can be changed with Rss.

Hmm some company you work for they dont even trust you to be responsible with the phone that sucks.......

I can do you one better. I work for the State of Florida. Employees are allowed to use the NEXTELs for work calls, but not personal calls... regardless of if we use up the minutes in our plans or not. The state charges its employees 69 cents/min. (don't ask how they came up with that price... I don't want to go there) for personal use. The logs are reconciled at the end of the month and we have to provide the state agency we work for the name of the client/business associate whose number it is. I said to hell with that, got a phone and rate plan off their enterprise account and pay for it myself. have the Free Incoming 300 and tell people to call me if necessary on it. I always try to locate land lines if I need to place a call or send SMS to their e-mail accounts to have them call me.

Most companies are doing that now. Too many ppl taking advantage I guess. I know I would if a company gave me one of their phones to use.

the way to get around the key pad disabled is to
1.download nextels phonebook manager.
2.save the phone book from your phone on the computer.
3.erase the phonebook in your phone.
4.then open the saved phonebook on your computer and add the contacts that you want to be able to dial.
5.resave the phone book to your computer
6.upload new phonebook from computer back to phone



Now you can go into your contacts list and scroll to the person you want to call.

you still can not dial the number with the key pad but who actually dials numbers anymore! lol

hope this helps

good tip, nice to know.

nice one thank you.

guess you learn something new everyday...../

No problem!
