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 Nationwide Sprint PCS 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 PCS Connection
Manager software on your computer, and then use the sync cable to connect your device to
your computer.
To set up your phone-to-computer data connection:
1. Insert the Getting Started CD that came with your device into your computer’s CD
drive and select the link to download and install the
Sprint PCS Connection Manager software and drivers.
2. Make sure your device’s phone is turned on and that one of the mobile broadband
icons ( or ) appears at the top of the screen.
Note:
To use this service, you may be required to sign up on a Sprint PCS Vision with
Phone as Modem plan. Go to www.sprint.com or visit a Sprint Store for Phone
as Modem plan details and more information.
Note:
If neither icon appears, you cannot use your device as a modem with Sprint PCS
Connection Manager.
