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 i700plus 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 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 iDEN Wireless Data Services
software. For more information on setting up your computer and your i700plus
phone for Packet and Circuit Data calls, see the Wireless Data Services User’s
Guide and contact your carrier.
TTY Users
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.
