Using your device as
a wireless modem
Your smartphone’s data capabilities enable
you to use your smartphone as a wireless
modem for your laptop computer. Use this
feature to send and receive email, browse
the Internet, and access your company’s
network if you do not have another Internet
connection for your laptop—for example,
when working remotely at airports and
other locations.
You can use your device as a wireless
modem in one of two ways:
•
Connect your smartphone to your
computer using the USB sync cable.
•
If your computer is enabled with
Bluetooth wireless technology, set up
your smartphone as a wireless modem
using the built-in Bluetooth technology.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•
To use this service, you must have
access to a wireless data network, and
a separate data service plan may also
