Using Your Phone as a Modem
To use your phone as a modem with a laptop,
handheld device, or desktop computer:
1 Locate the accessory connector.
2 With the phone’s display facing up, insert the
data cable’s connector into the accessory
connector, until you hear a click.
3 Insert the data plug into the data port of the other
device.
When used as a modem, your phone has these
data transfer modes:
• Circuit data — used for sending and receiving
faxes and for transferring large files
• Packet data — used for small file transfers such
as email
To use these services, you must install the iDEN
Wireless Data Services software (available
separately) and subscribe to a Boost
TM
Wireless
Web access plan. For more information on setting
up your computer and your i455 phone for packet
and circuit data calls, go to www.boostmobile.com.
