Using Your Phone as a Modem
To use your phone as a modem with a laptop, 
handheld device, or desktop computer:

data cable’s connector into the accessory 
connector, until you hear a click.

When used as a modem, your phone has these

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
