Using Your Sprint Phone as a Modem
Your phone’s data capabilities enable you to use your phone’s
high-speed data connection as a modem for your desktop or
laptop PC. You’ll be able to send and receive email, browse the
Internet, and access your company’s network anywhere on
the Sprint National Network.
Note: To use this service, you are required to sign up on a SprintVision with
Phone as Modem plan. Go to www.sprint.com or visit a Sprint Store for phone
as modem plan details and more information.
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 Connection Manager
SM software on your PC,
and then use the supplied USB cable to connect your phone to
your PC.

1. From your computer’s Internet browser, go to
www.sprint.com and download the Sprint 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 Connection
Manager software and drivers to your PC.
3. Once the software has been fully installed, connect your
phone to your PC using a USB cable (sold separately).
(Your PC will detect the connection and an icon will
appear in your system tray.)
4. Launch the Sprint Connection Manager software, select
a profile, and click Connect.
