Using Your Phone As A Modem - Motorola Phone i500plus User Manual

USING YOUR PHONE AS A MODEM

You can use your i500plus as a modem for data transfer from you
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 i500plus for Packet and Circuit Data calls, see the Wireless
Data Services User's Guide and contact your carrier.
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.
