Setting Up a Data Connection

With Your Computer

In order to use your phone as a modem, you’ll first need to load the Sprint PCS Connection ManagerSM software on your computer. Then, use a compatible USB cable or built-in Bluetooth connection to connect your phone to your computer.

1.From your computer’s traditional Internet connection, go to www.sprint.com/downloads and download the Sprint PCS Connection Manager for Phone as Modem/USB Cables software. (The software and drivers can be downloaded free of charge.)

2.Double-click the downloaded file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the Sprint PCS Connection Manager software and drivers to your computer.

3.Once the software has been fully installed, connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable or built-in Bluetooth connection. (Your computer will detect the connection and a status icon may appear in your system tray.)

4.Launch the Sprint PCS Connection Manager software, select a profile, and click Connect.

5.Once the connection is established, launch an Internet session, check your email, or do anything else you would do using a traditional data connection.

6.When you’re ready to terminate the data connection, double-click the Sprint PCS Connection Manager icon in the system tray, and then click Disconnect to end the session.

Note

 

While your data connection is active, you will not be

 

 

able to receive incoming calls; all incoming calls will

 

 

be forwarded to your Sprint Voicemail. Placing an

 

 

outgoing call during a data session terminates the

 

 

data connection.

 

 

 

 

 

Sprint Vision services are available on the Sprint

 

 

National Network. Sprint Power Vision services work

 

 

anywhere on the Sprint National Network, but

 

 

broadband-like download speeds are only available

 

 

in areas covered by the Sprint Mobile Broadband

 

 

Network.
