However, it reminded me that in about 1998 I used some third party software (I dimly recall that it was developed by a French software house) from Vodafone NZ for a Bosch mobile phone and which enabled the user to do some clever stuff with moving SMS text data and phone number data both ways between phone memory OR phone SIM and a PC (I used a laptop) via an RS232 interface.

I knew nothing of Zte 'Join Me' software for PC nor Telecom NZ 'R1' phones. Out of my head are some notes which may be of use, plus I did a bit of hunting around for the software needed. So what seems to be needed is information about potential sources for an intact archived copy of the Join Me software, or information about any useful forums that might be able to help. Whilst this user can Bluetooth just the contacts across to a PC, they also need to get the texts from colleagues (i.e., text messages that are on the old phone) copied off the phone and saved to a PC and then copied across onto the new phones as well.Enquiries made to Telecom and the vendors of the phone get pointed back to Zte, so it seems to be a dead end. The user has been in contact with - makers of the phone - and it seems they do not support the phone with the Join Me software any more.Having recently purchased two more of the R1 (TNZ) phones, this user wishes to upload files and texts to those new phones as well, using Join Me, but cannot find the software now.However, due to a recent upgrade and re-installation of WinXP onto their computer, it seems that the Join Me software has inadvertently been lost/deleted.The software was very useful in archiving text etc. This person says they have been using a mobile phone 'Telecom R1' from TNZ (Telecom NZ) for several years now and had previously downloaded the Zte Join Me PC client software (which had been documented in the user manual as to where it could be downloaded from).This is the gist of it, as far as I have it at the moment: It is not something that I am familiar with, so I am posting this on the offchance that a collective 'Brains Trust' of DCF denizens might be able to throw much more useful light on the topic than I might be able to do on my own. A PC and mobile phone user asked me today if I could help to find some possibly obsolete software.
