I have used a Composer for a couple years. Today when I turned it on it has a "Activate Device" page. (It worked properly yesterday.) I called support at...
Whatever you do don't reactivate your composer, it will erase everthing you have on the device, folders and everthing! I found that when this happens on my...

Joe, Thanks for the advice. I have the bateries out of the Composer now and will check it tomorrow (taking them out for a short time had no effect). I sent a...
Hey, don't throw it in a river; some environmentalists will claim you disrupted the samon run, disruped the caribu migrations and started a perafrost meltdown...

I'm not ready to throw mine away just yet! Maybe the fact that I have the Sharp enters into it. I am leaving on a trip this week and will be traveling mostly...
Hi Tom, Last year my Composer lost it's PMID number. I called the Pocketmail staff and they couldn't reactivate my Composer with reprogramming. I then decided...
Hi Les, I doubt I'll be giving my pocketmail anytime in the near future. I find it too convenient to give up. The benefits outway the drawbacks as few as they...
Hi Joe, I like my Pocketmail device for the same reasons as you. You can compose an email just about anywhere so that makes it very convenient. You are not...
I will be traveling from Central New York, around Syracuse to Portland, Oregon in six more weeks; it a repeat of the trip I did just two months ago. The...

Greetings all, Follow up to my msg...... I sent in my Composer for repair and was told it was beyond hope. Since I had at least 6 months of PocketMail left and...
Hi Tom, The same thing happened to me around a year ago. One day my composer froze up and I had to reset it. When I did this it worked like normal with one...
Hi Bob, I've been a composer user for several years and had no problem, but who knows when it will happen. What is the TM-20 anyway?? Is there a web site for...
Hi Bill, The Sharp TM-20 is Pocketmail device that was manufactured and sold prior to the Pocketmail Composer. If you're interested do a "google" search for...
The TM-20 came out before the composer. It was popular about seven years ago. Back then there were three units you could use to receive pocketmail: the Sharp...
The TM-20 is a fine unit, as said. The cellphone issue can be clarified. The TM-20 is strictly analog and is not compatible with digital cellular connections....
I'm a new pocketmail owner (distinguished from "user" since I can't get it to work). I have a Cingular Motorola Razr and for the life of me I can't get a ...
jradi, I think the first thing you need to explore is whether your phone is running via analog or digital when you are working with the pocketmail composer. It...
The Sharp only works on analog, but the Composer is supposed to also work on GSM, TDMA, or iDEN digital. The Cingular version of the Razr is only offered in...
More - I suspected that the Razr is digital only, no analog, and that is apparently true. This is the trend in new phones, especially GSM. My comments were...
We mention switching digital cell phones to analog for use with the TM-20, or when a digital signal (CDMA) is not compatible with the Composer. But there is...
Bill: I don't have a Composer or GSM cellular, so someone else will have to tell us how well it works. I have used my TM-20 a couple of times by switching my...
Thanks for all the info. I agree, pocketmail has it's small niche appeal. I have a pocketpc and laptop that I use at internet cafes, but I bought the...
This explains it. While I couldn't get a sync in my quiet apartment, my Razr finally worked in the middle of washington dc - literally on a street corner with...
I still think the Composer should work on Cingular digital. But whatever. The main drawback to switching to analog on my Motorola non-Razr phones has been...
My wife recently was cleaning out a drawer and found her old TM 20 pocket mail device. Upon looking at it, she found messages that her dad had sent her years...
Jeff, The TM-20 cable serves 2 purposes. Backup is one, and Sync is the other (what you want). You need to install the PocketLynx software in order to sync....
Mrfrys, You seem knowledgeable about PocketMail, perhaps you know how to mass transfer an address book from a PC (Outlook Express) to PM. I think it was ...

John, I'm assuming you have a Composer. To get addresses from Netscape email (Outlook Express is probably similar), open the Address Book and select Export...
