Transferring your Address Book 
If switching from a Digital (TDMA) phone to a Sony Ericsson T290  
You will need to manually transfer numbers from one phone’s address book to another by following the 
instructions in your phone’s User Guide.   
If switching from a Next Generation (GSM/GPRS) phone to a Sony Ericsson T290 
Next Generation phones such as the Sony Ericsson T290 often allow you to save contacts to your phone or to 
your SIM card (which is a memory chip that you can remove and insert into future next generation phones that 
you use).  If this option is available to you, and you think you may decide to change phones (to another Next 
Generation phone) at any time, be sure to save all your contacts to your SIM card so that you can simply take 
your address book with you.  To add a contact to your SIM, select Menu (you can reach the menu by pressing 
the scroll key center on your phone) →Phonebook → Manage SIM → Add to SIM
, enter the name and number, 
and select ‘Save and exit.’  Note:  SIM cards are able to save 200 numbers, and only one number per name.  
 
 
Setting Up VoiceMail 
Please to refer to the Welcome Guide, which you received with your phone, for full instructions on how to set up 
your VoiceMail service.  For the Sony Ericsson T290, be sure to follow the “Next Generation” phone instructions 
and use 1111 as your temporary VoiceMail password. Note:  You’ll want to set up your VoiceMail as soon 
as possible, since this service is active immediately and callers may be leaving messages for you.  
 
Using Text Messaging 
Have you ever wanted to reach someone, but know that they are in a place where they can’t receive a phone 
call, or have you just wanted to pass a quick comment along without making it into a long voice conversation?  
Text Messaging may just be for you. 
 
Text messaging is already active on your phone, and any messages that you receive are FREE.  This is 
especially handy because it means you may be able to receive info alerts for free from sites such as CNN.com, 
or the Weather Channel, etc. PC users can also send 150 character-long emails to your phone using your 10 
digit telephone number@gocbw.com as the email address.  To illustrate, the format of the address would look 
something like this: 
 
 
To respond to text messages, it’s just a dime per message that you send, or you can get a money-saving text 
messaging plan if you become a frequent user.  To switch to a text messaging plan at any time, simply call 
#TXT from your wireless phone and add the service using our automated ordering line.  Using text messaging is 
easy.  See the following instructions, which can be used on virtually any Sony Ericsson phone.
