Data, Fax, and Internet Calls

Your Ericsson mobile phone contains a modem similar to the modems you use to connect your computer to your home or office telephone service. Rather than con- necting to standard telephone lines, however, the modem in your mobile phone allows you to connect your computer to the mobile telephone system. In places where mobile network operators provide the nec- essary support, you can use your mobile phone to send or receive faxes, upload or download data files, or access the Internet. This chapter will assist you with setting up your computer and phone to handle data, fax, and Inter- net calls on the mobile network.

Note! If digital data/fax/Internet service is not available, you can purchase an analog modem card that is compatible with your Ericsson mobile phone and use data/fax func- tions on the available analog system.

Differences Between Data, Fax, and Internet Calls

Your Ericsson mobile phone can handle data, fax, and Internet calls, but each type of call requires correspond- ing software that must be running on your computer.

Data, Fax, and Internet Calls

Data Calls

Data calls are placed to exchange computer files between two computers. While the data connection is in place, files can be transferred between the connected comput- ers, according to the capabilities of the software in use. When a data call is made, the connection will remain in place until it is closed by one of the computers involved. To make or receive data calls with your Ericsson mobile phone, you must have a properly configured communi- cations program running on your computer.

Fax Calls

Fax calls are placed to send fax messages. When a fax message has been sent, your fax software or the originat- ing fax machine will terminate the call. To make or receive fax calls with your Ericsson mobile phone, you must have a properly configured fax program running on your computer.

Internet Calls

Internet calls are placed to Internet Service Providers (ISP) when you want to use e-mail or access websites on the World Wide Web. To make Internet calls, you must have an account with an ISP and a properly configured Internet access program (browser) running on your computer. When your software is installed and set up to dial your ISP, calls can be made using the normal dialing
