Motorola i55sr Phone manual Using Your Phone as a Modem

Using Your Phone as a Modem

NOTE: Some features may be network dependent or subscription only, and may not be available in all areas. Contact your service provider for more information.

You can use your i55sr 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 a data cable (available separately) 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 email, 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 email.

To use these services, you must install the iDEN Wireless Data Services software (available separately). For more information on setting up your computer and your i55sr phone for Packet and Circuit Data calls, see the Wireless Data Services User’s Guide and contact your carrier.
