Using Your Device’s Phone as a Modem
Your device’s data capabilities enable you to use your device’s phone as a modem
for your laptop computer anywhere on the Sprint advanced wireless high-speed
data network. You’ll be able to send and receive email, browse the Internet, and
access your company’s network anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network.
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 Manager software on your computer, and then use the sync cable to
connect your device to your computer.
To set up your phone-to-computer data connection:
1.
Insert the Getting Started CD that came with your device into your
computer’s CD drive and select the link to download and install the Sprint
PCS Connection Manager software and drivers.
2.
Make sure your device’s phone is turned on (see “Turning Your Phone On
and Off” on page 18) and that one of the mobile broadband icons ( or
) appears at the top of the screen.
Note: To use this service, you may be required to sign up on a Sprint PCS Vision with
Phone as Modem plan. Go to
www.sprint.com
or visit a Sprint Store for
Phone as Modem plan details and more information.
