Virgin Mobile X-tc: send in your questions

[robh394]

what plan do u have because i ordered an xtc and its on a paylo plan but i dont know which one to get

[ghrohrs2020]

HI TECH GIRL.

I just replaced my Xtc with a new Xtc and I can't figure out how to get the memory card recognized again. It seemed tricky the first time I did it (with the last phone), and the second time is no exception. The phone doesn't recognize the card when installed.. Any ideas?

Is there a way to use the USB charger cord to add ringtones to the phone?

I tried using Bitpim and it wont recognize the phone.

Thank you

[ghrohrs2020]

I have the same stuff you used in your video for adding iTunes music to the xtc via a ScanDisk 2GB microSD card. My files appear to be corrupt in the Xtc. Picture files work flawlessly. Music fails. Could it be an issue with the iTunes files being AAC (Protected) files? I had to move them from my work computer to my home laptop via a data disk. They play fine on my Vista laptop and in iTunes, but just won't transfer to the Xtc correctly. Can you help?

[whattheheck204]

is aim built in?

did you ever get ringtones to work?

[TheMattdawg9]

Hey that 1 tech girl please reply to me. what type of brand is your micro sd adapter and card. thanks

[ghrohrs2020]

She used a ScanDisk microSD card and adapter.

[XjvenassaX]

do u pay to install IM on the phone?

[lollyohlollypop]

can u give us a whole phone review like evrything it does??? cuz i asked fer it fer my bday. i wanna know more bout it

[pspsk817]

[XoLiquidoX]

Can I set my Ringtones based on the MP3's in the music player?

[Filender]

Does twitter work on this?

[loungo1567]

yes if you have internet for it cant wait to get this phone

[TravisVidz]

In a video, can you show us how the inbox is? I.E. does it have IM style texting, where you can see all your texting history with a contact.?

[TravisVidz]

Plans can go for prepaid.

Unlimited texting is $19.99

Unlimited everything is $49.99

Just choose a plan online or over the phone and they take the amounts from your balance.

[flexchef]

does the fone come with a mini sd card?

[TravisVidz]

No you have to buy those

[dreamz123181]

how do i put ringtones of songs without payin for them??>

[TravisVidz]

You can't. Its illegal.

[chrisgarc724]

do u get charged for checking your emails or instant messaging ?

[chrisgarc724]

do u get charged for checking your emails or instant messaging ?

[That1TechGirl]

Instant messaging, no.

Email, I'm not sure.

[camero90909]

How long does the battery life last?

[That1TechGirl]

Maybe 2 or 3 days with low activity.

1.5 with normal activity.

[amichick]

can you text with the phone closed with out the full keyboard? using the buttons in the middle?

[That1TechGirl]

Nope.

[Pancakeman4787]

if i have the 1000 message plan will it take away a message if i send a message on aim?????

[That1TechGirl]

Yes.

[facethemadbass]

is it possible to use bluetooth to send files back and forth between computer and phone? i have a mac laptop and getting files through the whole micro sd thing isn't panning out. ..

[That1TechGirl]

I've never heard of any phone being able to do that.

[SketchnoteTV]

damn, my old phone a sony ericsson used to do it and it was beautiful. i guess it was a rarity lol

[That1TechGirl]

Well it might be possible.

I'm just saying that I don't know how to do it.

There's still hope :)

[2890578]

is anything like aim, myspace,or face book, free or do u have 2 pay and would u recommend the phone and can u make ur mp3 song ur ring tone or no

[That1TechGirl]

Aim is a messaging thing, so it just takes the cost of your text messages.

Myspace and Facebook are things you have to have a data plan with, which costs money.

I would recommend this phone to all Virgin Mobile users, and maybe even some other users who are not currently with VM.

And no, you cannot make mp3 songs into ringtones.

Thanks for watching :)

[MetalxUpxUrxass85]

how is the call quality?

[That1TechGirl]

It's decent with pretty good reception.

It just depends on if your in cell phone range.

[ghrohrs2020]

Call reception is very poor. The microphone is basically on the bottom, towards the back, of the phone (Xtc). I never feel like I get crisp sound coming in through the ear piece either. This is the worst aspect of this phone, yet the most important really.

[911andre]

does the aim work good on this phone ? because on most mobile phones the aim would only show the first contact group

[That1TechGirl]

I'll have a video of the aim up soon.

[911andre]

i just wanna know if it shows all your aim groups...

[That1TechGirl]

Yes

[lamp7002]

heyhey i cant get a straight answer from anybodyyy can u make the mp3 songs into ringtones? i still gotsta get my sd card or watever

[That1TechGirl]

I will answer that question in the video I'm posting later today.

If it's possible, I'll show you how to do it.

Please rate and subscribe!

[HacKSaW15243]

can you watch stuff on youtube from this phone? I'm kinda torn, I want the data pack because it'd be even more epic if this could play youtube but if it can't I'm not getting the data pack

[That1TechGirl]

On this phone, you cannot watch Youtube videos.

But I have been told that you could somehow put videos on there so I'm going to try and do a video explaining how to do that.

[josuam]

i know that you can install mini opera but i was wondering if you could intall msn messenger? i know the phone already has AIM and Yahoo! messenger but i'd like to know about msn messenger! thanks

[That1TechGirl]

Sorry, but I don't think you can install MSN messenger.

VM is only partnered with AIM and Yahoo! messengers.

Maybe at a later time they will allow MSN installations.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Please rate and subscribe :)

[josuam]

yeah i know that but since now you can install mini opera by just going to their website from ur cell, don't you think that you can download msn messenger also?

[That1TechGirl]

No, because its kind of a different thing.

The IM Messaging options are controlled by this company called OZ Communications.

They basically are the go-to people for cell phone IM messaging.

And from the looks of their website, they don't support MSN messenger for any of the phones they are partnered with.

Sorry :/

[josuam]

got cha!

[That1TechGirl]

I hope I helped :)

Check out my videos on this phone that will be uploaded tomorrow.

If theres anything you would like me to demonstrate, just say what!

[93shorty956]

i called virgin mobile and they said you could put videos in the phone. could you make a video to show how videos look on the phone?

[That1TechGirl]

Yes, I will make a video about that.

It should be up in 2 or 3 days depending on when I understand that completely.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Please rate and subscribe! :)

[sharpay20s]

does this phone have flash?

[That1TechGirl]

No, it doesn't. Sorry :/

You just have to make sure to have good lighting when you take a picture.

Subscribe and rate, though! :)

I'll be doing really good review videos on this starting tomorrow [hopefully with a better camera]
