Receiving a Data Call
Most users use the wireless data connection to place outgoing data/fax
calls. But you can also set up your phone to receive (host) data and fax
calls. Because each phone model is different, the wireless data
connection materials don’t include instructions on how to set up your
phone to receive data and fax calls. Here's the procedure to set up your
phone to receive a (mobile-terminated) data or fax call:
1.
Select the menu option to enable incoming data/fax calls. Note that
incoming voice calls are not possible when your phone is set to
receive data/fax calls.
2.
Once you've received the incoming data/fax call, you may want
to return the phone to its normal state by disabling incoming
data/fax calls.
Using Special Features During a Wireless Data Call
Your phone gives you the ability to use special features while you’re on a
wireless Internet connection call. They are outlined below:
ᮣ Caller ID:
Just like your phone stores regular Caller ID numbers, it
also stores the numbers of incoming wireless Internet connection
calls. To distinguish between the two types of calls, “Data” or “Fax”
displays along with the number of the caller when you view your
Caller ID records.
Note: Caller ID is not available on wireless Internet browser calls.
