View Full Version : Premium Mobile Access Features?


August 19th, 2005, 05:17 PM
Hello all!

I have a few questions about the Premium Mobile Access fearures before I consider signing up:
<ul type="square">[1] I understand that I would be able to access my Plaxo account online on my phone and see any phone number in my account. But I can presently load my PIM info onto my phone from my PC. Are there other features which I could take advantage of also?

[2] The website info here says that I could access Plaxo from any WAP enabled phone browser. Is it compatible with any OS/browser? MS Smartphone, Symbian phones, and Opera Mobile? Is there a "compatible device" list?

[3] Is there a way to have my username and password auto-entered for near-instant access, like my email accounts? Or must I open my browser, wait interminably for graphics to load, and try to key in my email address and password on an alpha-keypad? Email is done very well on most smartphones - just press the button and it connects, logs in, and downloads messages without any further input from me. But I rarely browse the web on my smartphone, as inputting on a cell keypad and waiting for pages to load is more time intensive than I care for. For browsing I usually just connect to my cell phone with a Pocket PC via Bluetooth.

[4] I already asked in another thread whether I can download contacts to my cell phone from Plaxo, other than one at a time. The answer was No, but is this a feature that is being considered in the near future?[/list]

Thanks for any information you can offer!

I'm giving this post a bump since there were never any replies to the original post.

I'm giving some new consideration to a premium account, but I really do need some more information before I pay. I would write to support for the info, but of course I can't until after I purchase the premium product!! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Strange - apparently, the reply from our sales team failed to get posted at the time, so I'll repost.

[1] Plaxo Mobile Access enables you to access ALL of your most current Plaxo address book, calendar, tasks, and notes data from your phone. Many people to not have a means to load their PIM info to their phones. Of those people who sync their PIM data to their phone their phones are often not capable of storing all of their PIM data and the data that is stored on their phone may be out of date.

[2] Yes, Plaxo Mobile Access should work fine with any OS/browser. A list of phones that are know to be supported can be found at http://support.plaxo.com/bin/answer.py?answer=998&amp;topic=91.

[3] Yes, you can create a bookmark on your phone that includes your Plaxo username and password. See http://support.plaxo.com/bin/answer.py?answer=925&amp;topic=-1&amp;query=%2Fwap_setup%3Fpage%3DT6 for details.

[4] With Plaxo Mobile Access you can add a single phone number at a time to your phone (This feature is phone dependant). Plaxo is working on additional mobile products, but we do not want to discuss the details until the products are ready for Beta.
