Automatically Update Your Phone Contacts

  ....all this for an additional fee of $4.49 a month....NOT!

I certainly can appreciate providers offering services to make their service up to date and better than the next guy but here has to point when a service offering is part of the package.

A little bit here, a little bit there all coupled with the initial service and data plan ... it adds up...BIG TIME!

The service takes your computer-based contact lists from your e-mail systems (like Outlook) and sends it to your device.  Gee, now I can pay $4.49 a month for something that ActiveSync does..duh.

And you STILL have to choose which names to copy over....dumb!  Ok, so there are some phones that you can't use Outlook (or another program) on.  If you have that many contacts, you most likely have a significant number of calendar entries...I think I'd reconsider what device I'm using.

Original Release here: Verizon to offer automatic phone contact updates
