Dial-up
Your device’s networking capability allows you to access the Internet through the dial-up connection. Settings
for connecting to your service provider’s 1xRTT/EVDO network are already preconfigured on your device, and
your device is ready to connect to the Internet. Please do not change these settings as this may cause your
data connection to stop working.
If you need to use another dial-up connection from an ISP (Internet Service Provider), you can manually
add it to your device. To establish a dial-up connection on your device, you need the same settings that you
normally use when you dial up from your computer. This includes the ISP server phone number, your user
name and password.
