As I mentioned in a previous post I upgraded my phones due to taking the old phone swimming in the ocean.

One of the great features is the web access. The phone is an LG VX8300 . For $5 a month, you can get web access (You also need to consider that the airtime counts against your voice plan minutes).

Typing the urls into the browser and saving them to my favorites is a bit of a pain with the small keypad. (You have to hit the keys several times to get the correct letter). I found that if I sign into my Verizon account, I can get to a page where I can manage my favorites.

  • Features and Downloads
  • Mobile web (on the left)
  • Look for the Bookmarks/Favorites link
  • Look for the “customize” tab

From there, you can manage your favorites. You can create folders and copy and paste URLS from your desktop browser. It’s a quick way to set up your Favs and save a little bit of web airtime.

The rep did suggest upgrading to an LG Envy which has a mini querty keyboard along with a 2 megapixel camera (vice the 1.3 on the 8300). I still have time to do that and will probably go that route. Even so, it is nice to have the ability to manage my web favorites from a browser on my desktop.
