Nokia 6255i / 6256i
PICTURE CALLER ID and CENTER KEYPAD ANSWERS FROM NOKIA
So, I spoke with the Nokia Service rep on the phone about two issues.
First, Caller Id works on calling people not when receiving a call. Apparently the software in the 6256i does not support Picture Caller ID. HOWEVER, the 6600 software does support the Picture Caller ID function. I suggest and I might do it, is petition Verizon and Nokia to update the software appropriately.
Second, Center Keypad and programming the functions, also a 6600 issue, it can't be done on ours, but can be done on phones with the 6600 software.
Response, I like the phone I want it to work so I am going to put a petition together to demand from Verizon and Nokia that the phones should work correctly. Who's with me?

I was just about to ask about the picture id. You are so right about this.The picture comes up for a second when I am calling someone and then goes away. When someone calls me, there picture doesn't come up. In the book it says it should up on page 51, end of first paragraph. We have been rob of this benefit and we need it. Count me in!!!!!!!!! 😁 ☹️ 😢

Ok, so upon further investigation and a long conversation with a level 2 Nokia Technician at Nokia, I found out info about the terrible wireless cellphone industry in the US. Verizon controls what features are on the phone, the 6256i comes standard in supporting Picture Caller ID and the only way to get it to work is for Nokia and Verizon to work together and develop the new software for the Verizon servers, which they are supposedly doing at this time, but no release date. Which Nokia said is something that Verizon has balked on before with other features. I spoke further with Verizon and they said until the phone is offered in their stores the features most likely will be limiting for the moment, but there is not guarantee that the feat...

I appreciate the effort that you have made and thank you for your work. I bought a Nokia 6256i in December, 2005 and I like it a lot but dislike Verizon. That is why I signed up for only one year. Hopefully I will find a Cingular phone that works in my upstairs home office before my contract is up. -Lorna
