Motorola IDEN WIRELESS DATA SERVICES User Manual page 7

The phone serves as your modem for making packet and circuit-data
connections.
• Packet data: A wireless modem connection that uses your iDEN
phone's modem for accessing the Internet, sending and receiving
e-mail, and transferring small files over the packet data network using
standard IP protocols. You are still able to make and receive phone calls,
dispatch calls, and circuit data/faxes during the "idle" time.
Data is sent in bursts. Packet data transmits packets (blocks) of data at
high speed. After the data is transmitted, you can remain connected
indefinitely yet not be charged for the idle time.
• Circuit data: A wireless modem connection that uses your iDEN
phone's modem for sending and receiving faxes over the circuit-
switched cellular channel.
Data is sent as a continuous stream through the network to another
modem.
You may use the following information as a fast path to
installation.
