Using Your Phone as a Modem
Your phone's data capabilities enable you to use your phone's
high-speed data connection as a modem for your desktop or
laptop PC. 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 PC
In order to use your phone as a modem, you’ll first need to
load the Sprint PCS Connection Manager software on your PC,
and then use the supplied USB cable or built-in Bluetooth
connection to connect your phone to your PC.
To set up your phone-to-PC data connection:
1. From your computer’s traditional Internet connection,
go to
www.sprint.com/downloads and download the
Sprint PCS Connection Manager software. (The software
and drivers can be downloaded free of charge.)
2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the
onscreen instructions to install the Sprint PCS
Connection Manager software and drivers to your PC.
3. Once the software has been fully installed, connect your
phone to your PC using the supplied USB cable or built-
in Bluetooth connection. (Your PC will detect the
connection and an icon will appear in your system tray.)
4. Launch the Sprint PCS Connection Manager software,
select a profile, and click Connect.
