I read on this forum a few weeks ago about how you need to call Verizon and give them a special code in order to get 2000 SMS messages a month added to your data plan in order to get email from corporate exchange server.

Anybody know what that code is and who I call to order that plan?

Sorry, I've searched the forums and can't find the post again.

Thank you.

At least one post said that was only for the 700W.

northeast the code is: SMS2K
south, midwest and west the code is: 70246

If you have the Verizon unlimited data plan you can call Verizon Wireless Data Support at 866-788-9387 and request that the "PDA SMS 2000 ALLOWANCE, code 70246" to be added to your Unlimited Data Plan.

In addition to providing a trigger for your SMS synchronization to initiate the ActiveSync process with your Exchange server, this feature will also allow you up to 2000 text messages per month with no additional charge.

The will probably ask where you got the feature code, we found it in another forum http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...c.php?p=395604 but we didn’t share the specific forum information

You may want to act on this quickly because per that website we’ve heard that Verizon may not be willing to add this feature to an account after the AKU2 rom update has been released because it will no longer be necessary for synchronization.

A final note is that you must do a soft reset before the changes will take effect.

what about MMS, like pic message can i use the 2000 sms for it as well???

FWIW...

I haven't tried it myself but according to the information in the website listed above it looks like you can.

“The thread goes on to say that people .... used it for inbound and outbound messaging, and even used picture messaging (MMS) without incurring any additional charges. So, I say "use it - don't abuse it" and you should be just fine.“

I’d try it in a limited capacity first with just a few pictures to see if you get charged, and make your final determination at that point.

please do a search for PDA SMS 2000 both here and hofo. tons of info.

I struck out. I called but spoke with an utterly useless person on the other end that kept giving me the run around. Not a big deal for me.

Just got it thanks. Call their PDA support and tell them your IT guy says you need it to connect to the Exchange server. The guy I talked to knew right away what I was talking about.

In my case I am using it for Exchange anyway, I just didnt use push becuase I didnt want to pay for SMS.

Thanks. Can you tell me what options you went through during the phone tree? Maybe I went to the wrong department.

For anyone else who is interested in this..it is very easy to just shoot an email to data technical support asking them to add the PDA 2000 and give them the code...it worked for me almost immediately and you don't have to go through a bunch of people who are clueless.

What's the e-mail address for data technical support?

Just called it in and gave them the feature code. The rep was surprised and impressed that I had the code, and sure made it easier to get it added.

Also remember that if you have an existing SMS plan to have that removed at the same time.

Thanks so much, just called and added to both devices I have the unlimited plan on. big thumbs up to you
