Using Your Phone as a Modem

USING YOUR PHONE AS A MODEM

N O T E Modem features are network dependent or subscription dependent, and may not be available in all areas. Contact your service provider for more information.

You can use your phone as a modem for data transfer from your laptop, handheld device, or desktop computer. This is particularly useful when there is no wired phone line (wall jack) available.

You simply attach an optional data cable to your phone and your computer. From that point, your phone is your modem. This allows you to send or receive time-critical information such as e-mail, a field service report, or files. In addition, you can also send or receive faxes.

This type of wireless connection uses one of two types of data connection: circuit-switched data and packet data.

•Circuit-switched data is typically used for sending and receiving faxes and for transferring large files.

•Packet data is used for small file transfers such as e-mail.

To use these services, you must install the optional iDEN Wireless Data Services software. For more information on setting up your computer and your phone for Packet and Circuit Data calls, see the Wireless Data Services User’s Guide and contact your carrier.

T T Y U S E R S

You can use your phone and computer in TTY mode. Your computer screen and keyboard replace the standard TTY device. For more information, please see the Wireless Data Services User’s Guide.
