Dial-up
When you are not within the coverage of a wireless network or hotspot, use phone dial-up to connect your
device to the Internet. 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.

dial up from your computer. This includes the ISP server phone number, your user name and password.
