Common Questions Ending Fax or Data Calls 1. Question: Am I risking damage to my web enabled cell phone when I end fax or data calls by pressing END or folding my flip phone? Is it wiser to terminate communications by shutting the phone off? Answer: First of all, ending wireless data calls by phone poses negligible if any risks at all. Nevertheless, we caution you that this practice may affect your software. Play it safe by terminating your calls through your software program. Modem 1. Question: Is there a modem embedded in my web enabled cell phone? Answer: No. The carrier network fills the role of modem. However, your computer can't distinguish the web enabled cell phone from a physical modem. Service Provider 1. Question: What does a service provider or Internet service provider do? Answer: Your modem gains access to the server or computer of your service provider. Depending on the service provider, guests or registered subscribers have different levels of access ranging from specific systems to the Internet and World Wide Web, as provided by Internet service providers (ISPs). An employer that allows you "dial-in" access to its servers plays the role of service provider. Signal 1. Question: How intense does my signal have to be to use the Belkin Wireless Internet Connection? Answer: If your phone's display says it has found a signal, you should be able to communicate on your web enabled cell phone. The phone only confirms signals strong enough to make calls. If you're able to place a voice call, you'll also be able to make a wireless data call. 2. Question: Will a weak signal cause the data transmission to decelerate? Answer: Signal strength should not affect data speed. But signal interference may lengthen transfer times. 21
