Access Modem Features

Access phone’s two modems:

The circuit-switched (CS) modem operates over the same cellular network used for voice calls. It works very much like a standard computer modem, except that it uses cellular radio instead of land lines. You can dial up an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your corporate network for e-mail or web access. This modem is also used for faxing.

The CDPD modem operates over the Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) network to connect to the Internet through servers provided by the carrier. Through these servers, you can browse the web or get your e-mail.
