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 Sprint National 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 Connection
Manager software on your computer, and then use the sync cable to connect your device to
your computer.

.

2.

Select the link to download and install the Sprint Connection Manager software and
drivers.

3.

After you install the software, connect your device to your computer using the sync
cable. (When your computer detects the connection, the

taskbar in the lower-right corner of your computer screen.)

Note:
