Setting Up a Data Connection With Your PC
In order to use your phone as a modem, you’ll first need
to load the Sprint PCS Connection Manager
SM software
on your computer. Then, use a compatible USB cable or
built-in Bluetooth connection to connect your phone to
your computer.
To set up your phone-to-PC data connection:
1. From your computer’s traditional Internet
connection, go to
www.sprint.com/downloads and
download the Sprint PCS Connection Manager
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.
Note: To use this service, you are required to sign up on a
Sprint Power 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.
