Transferring Phone numbers

[Alan52]

I have just purchased a TomTom 500. and I am trying to transfer my Samsung D500 numbers to my TT but when I try `Get numbers from phone` my TT says This service is not available` I know my Bluetooth is working so its not that,

Can any one point me in the right dirction.

Thanks Alan

I couldn't transfer #s with my LG VX8300 either, but there is a work around.

Hook your TomTom x10 to your computer and browse to the 'contacts' folder on it. You'll probably see 2 text files in there already, 'called.txt' and 'callers.txt'. Take a look at the formatting of those 2 files as the file you're going to create will be the same format. Create a new text file called 'contacts.txt' in the contacts folder on the TomTom and put each individual contact in there in a separate line "contact name","contact #", for example:

"Friend1","xxxxxxxxxx"
"Friend2","xxxxxxxxxx"
"Friend3","xxxxxxxxxx"

You may notice that in the other 2 text files, there is a "+" in front of the number. I found that my phone doesn't seem to like this, so I just put the # in with no "+" in front and no dashes (don't think it matters if the dashes are there or not).

Once you save the file to your x10 reboot your TomTom and try and place a call using a phonebook entry, it should work fine! Plus now when anyone from a # in your contacts.txt file calls you it will display their contact name and # instead of just their #. Hope this is helpful.
