Ending Fax or Data Calls
1. Question: Am I risking damage to my web enabled cell phone
when I end fax or data calls by pressing END or folding my
flip phone? Is it wiser to terminate communications by
shutting the phone off?
Answer: First of all, ending wireless data calls by phone poses
negligible if any risks at all. Nevertheless, we caution you that
this practice may affect your software. Play it safe by terminating
your calls through your software program.
Modem
1. Question: Is there a modem embedded in my web enabled
cell phone?
Answer: No. The carrier network fills the role of modem.
However, your computer can't distinguish the web enabled cell
phone from a physical modem.
Service Provider
1. Question: What does a service provider or Internet service
provider do?
Answer: Your modem gains access to the server or computer
of your service provider. Depending on the service provider,
guests or registered subscribers have different levels of access
ranging from specific systems to the Internet and World Wide
Web, as provided by Internet service providers (ISPs). An
employer that allows you "dial-in" access to its servers plays the
role of service provider.
Signal
1. Question: How intense does my signal have to be to use the
Belkin Wireless Internet Connection?
Answer: If your phone's display says it has found a signal, you
should be able to communicate on your web enabled cell
phone. The phone only confirms signals strong enough to make
calls. If you're able to place a voice call, you'll also be able to
make a wireless data call.
2. Question: Will a weak signal cause the data transmission
to decelerate?
Answer: Signal strength should not affect data speed. But signal
interference may lengthen transfer times.
