All of them, as much as I can...
Verizon will do it...
they gladly activated my original MB phone in my '01 CL6.
Charged as an add'l phone on a family plan. Just bring the phone, if it has one, to a cellular dealer.
Otherwise, search here regarding "cell phone" or look for Vendetta. I think he got a kit to install a regular Motorola phone.

I just talked to Verizon and they will NOT activate the older (without GPS chip) phones. So I talked to MB and they will sell me a brand new V60-S phone for about $700. They say it will work just fine. (Famous last words)

I got the 815 at the Verizon store, MB could not make their's work. So when I get back from my mini-vacation I'll look at the Mikbox further. From what i have sean it looks good. While at MB they gave me a reference card for MB wireless solutions, www.wireless4mb.com , they say they will have a system out after the first of the year. They gave a real vage price though, said double the amount of the cradle....$400 to $1200. I may look into it further but the Mikbox looks promising.
How many of you have used it?

Do I need to already have a old Motorola phone from mercedes installed and activated before I can integrate the Mikbox and my New phone from Verizon (Motorola E815) ? So far I only see the cradle for the Mercedes phone in the car, but no cell phone. Thanks for all the help!

I was going to buy an official MB Nokia phone and swap SIM cards everytime I enter the vehicle. The wireless4mb rep then told me about the upcoming Bluetooth product. We shall see....
