-
- I just recently got a Minivox portable phone. I found out after I had
- paid for the phone that there are phone options that are not user
- configurable. These require the service provider (ie my authorized
- agent of PacTel) to set these options.
-
- One option which I consider important is the assignment of the
- security code. My agent told me that it was customary for them to set
- my security code to the last digets of the telephone number. Is this
- right? After much complaining I was able to get them to change the
- security code. But I want to learn the procedure so that I don't have
- to rely on them.
-
- Please, if anyone has the programmer's manual for this phone or some
- information on how I might obtain one, or just the code sequences
- necessary to do this and other phone options, please post a response
- or send me email.
-
- Thanks.
