The Motorola Phone Tools software allows Motorola phone users to connect their cell phones to their computers to access a range of features and back up important information. Installing and using Phone Tools with your Motorola RAZR V3R provides you with an additional way to make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, and back up data stored on your phone.
Phone Calls
You can make a phone call or receive a phone call on your computer if your RAZR is connected to your computer. You must have an external microphone to use this feature. It allows you to talk to family and friends without having to hold the phone while you talk. The program allows you to access your phonebook and select contacts on your computer without having to use your phone.
Text Messages
The "Messaging" feature in the program allows you to send and receive text messages. You can use your computer's keyboard to type messages rather than having to use your phone's keypad. You can, however, still only send a short message, which ranges from 130 to about 160 characters.
Contacts and Calendar
Synchronizing the contacts and calendar on your RAZR V3R with your computer provides you with a backup copy of all of your contacts and any appointments or dates booked on your calendar. If you ever lose your phone or break it, you can add the contacts saved on your computer onto your new phone and update the calendar with any information you had in your previous datebook. You may want to synchronize your phone often to ensure that your information stays up to date.
