Using Your Smartphone as a Modem 172 Using Your Smartphone as a Modem You can use your Smartphone as an external modem for data transfer to and from your computer by using the Sync Cradle and mini USB cable or by using an infrared connection. Note: To use your Smartphone as a GPRS modem, see "Setting Up Your Smartphone for Wireless Data Service Access" on page 131. You can use your Smartphone to transfer data only when it is not in a call. If your Smartphone is in a Walkie-Talkie call when you set up a data transfer, the Walkie-Talkie call is ended. You will not receive any type of call or message notifications while transferring data. For more information on using your Smartphone as a modem, see the Modem User Guide on sprint.com.
