I have no idea. Nokia offers software for it but I never tried it because I didn't need this function. There is also other software but WRT the Nokia PC Suite you can read up on it here:

I have heard of people getting micro controllers to talk to it so I assume it's possible.

I have fears that it won't. May be JUST enough delays in the system to...

That seems to be pretty much what my deal is. One difference is expiration with account balances maintained over $100, mine doesn't (yet).

No data port of any kind on my phone. No camera either.

Are you sure about the data port? It doesn't have one of those wide connectors on the bottom? Even my cheap Nokia has that and this 2115i ought to be the true no-frills economy model here.

Well, that's how those web sites usually are. For whatever reason. Maybe some script kiddies have reached the suit and tie phase by now, mortgage, kids, the whole nine yards ;-)

Sorry, but then my deal is indeed better. No expiration, regardless of balance :-)

Not that long. I met a guy while walking the dogs and asked him about this strange antenna, thinking he might have found the golden trick to make this %#*@!! digital TV work. Then he explained it all. Even switching later ain't that easy if you bought some integrated deal for your business (he runs an engineering firm). Not easy to unravel.

Maybe, maybe not, yours has a $10 monthly i believe you said. Mine has none. Better depends on your usage pattern as well.

It's $5/mo. But no expiration. Those $5 turn into about 28 minutes that remain in your account.

Is it local to you or nationwide ??

Virgin Mobile. Not sure if they still offer the same rates to new subscribers, unfortunately they seem to have thoroughly screwed up their web site.

Nationwide, they ride piggyback on the Sprint network. I never had to pay any roaming which was a non-negotiable condition for me because I use the phone only on biz travel. Be careful, roaming charges with other carriers can be a major rip-off.

So there it is, pump it once a month for about $0.18/min or pump it maybe annually for $0.25/min (alternatively $1.00 each day of use [any call in or out] + $0.10/min). So it really comes down to your usage pattern and which plan suits you best.

The per minute cost almost doesn't matter with my paltry usage. But expirations do matter, big time. So I had to make sure there are none.
However, now they have goofed the web site and I can't get the statements anymore :-(
