Your phone has the ability to synchronize the Contacts and Calendar data with
remote devices. Using the synchronization feature (SyncML), data such as names,
numbers, and e-mail addresses stored in your contact list, or day notes and reminders
from the calendar can be exchanged with other devices through a synchronization
service provider. After synchronization, the data in the phone will be the same as
the data contained in the host database.
Before you begin
Before you can begin to use SyncML, you must verify your service provider offers this
feature. If your service provider does offer SyncML, you must set up an account with
a SyncML service provider. For more information about signing up for synchronization
services, contact your wireless service provider.
Automatic configuration
Your wireless service provider can automatically configure your phone with the
correct synchronization settings by using SMS. This can only take place while your
phone is in idle mode. Contact your service provider for more information.
Even though it is highly recommended that your service provider configure the correct
synchronization settings for you, it is helpful for you to know the meaning of the
settings. To view the synchronization settings, select Menu > Connectivity >
Synchronize > Settings > Active Internet sync. settings or Custom. active
