Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / August 2005Mobile Phone Tools question
I was looking at purchasing MPT but have a question I was hoping someone could answer for me before I buy it. Does the software support two different phones? My wife and I have the same Model phone, v551, and I was hoping to backup the address book for both phones to the same computer. Does anyone know if this is possible? > I was looking at purchasing MPT but have a question I was hoping > someone could answer for me before I buy it.

Mobile Phone Tools allows multiple profiles. I have used that for syncing two phones to the same database. Did you want to keep two databases, or are you going to have a common sync pool? I think that might be stored in the profile, but it's not obvious if it is. When you open the phone book, it opens the PC-side source as the last one that that was used. You can manually open some other source.  Signature--- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5 Thanks for the response. I was planning on having two different databases if possible. Would you and others post a quick message on their opinion of MPT? I've read some things about it that make me wonder if it is worth the money. Given that it's only 8 bucks on ebay it's hard to go wrong. It's OK to buy version 3.11 rather than pay more for 3.23. Once you load the software it will run Live Update and install the latest version (3.25 now). It's a very handy package and let's you back up your phone, sync to your PC, create ringtones and more. You also need those drivers installed if you decide to start modding your phone. From:Adman ad_man620@yahoo.com > Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the response Bruce. I checked ebay and the only sellers I found were for $10.99 and was for version 3.0. From what I have read it sounds like you can upgrade any version newer than 2.11 for free. I asked the question because from this group and the BVRP forums it looks like some people are having a lot of difficulties with the software. Of course you only hear from people who have problems so I was trying to get some feedback before attempting to install this software. Thanks again. Haven't had any problems with it myself.

I'll need the data cable so I think I go with the package deal. Do you see any issues with purchasing the 3.0 CD and cable package and then upgrading? My phone is a v551. > Thanks Bruce.

Hard to say. With a v551, I went with Bluetooth. It's more expensive, but I like the gadgets. The standard Bluetooth drivers will let you up/download pictures and video clips, and _one_ contact at a time. The standard drivers will let you connect to the internet via GPRS or EDGE on Cingular. To synchronize your phone to either Outlook or BVRP database(s) or copy multiple contacts, MPT works. That's all I use it for. If you stay with a USB cable, you might need MPT to get the USB drivers to gain what comes standard with a USB dongle on WinXP-SP2. I see the package for $8.99 by looking around on shopoem.com. I bought MPT as a download directly from BVRP, and I see that they offer a discount, which I missed, using a promotion code that is listed in the support forums frequently. Do the live upgrade before your first attempt to connect to the phone.

Leave the phone disconnected until the software is installed and done updating. Then start MPT first and then plug in the phone. From:Adman ad_man620@yahoo.com > Thanks Bruce.

Thanks Bruce and Rex for taking the time to respond and provide some helpful hints. It is appreciated. I'm going to buy the software today from ebay. Thanks again. > Thanks Bruce and Rex for taking the time to respond and provide some > helpful hints. It is appreciated. I'm going to buy the software today > from ebay.
