can I bypass the cell phones modem
|
|
|
| Is there anyway you can use a data cord on a Kyocera 2135 to hook up with
the internet other than using the 19,200 modem in the phone. I have a 56 K
modem and Ethernet on my PC with Windows XP. Any way to use either of these
or both with the data cord, can't get an answer from Kyocera or my cell
provider. Thanks...

No, you need a 1xRTT-capable phone and a 1xRTT-capable carrier if you use a
CDMA wireless phone service like Sprint or Verizon -- and since Kyocera only
manufactures CDMA phones, I'm assuming that's the case. The carriers support
the faster data services now, but I don't believe a 2135 supports it. You'd
have to buy a new phone.

It would be more correct to think of the cell phone combined with your
carrier's system as a whole modem that eventually connects to a landline
system somewhere (just as your modem at home connects to the landline plug
in your wall). The 19200 part of it is performing a different function that
is necessary to get your data over the air and to a landline system for
dialup access, and your 56k modem doesn't speak the same language.
Bypassing that part would mean going somewhere to find a wall with a phone
jack to plug your modem into.

Sure, I have the same, modem/ethernet/WiFi (but with a Kyocera 2235 that
also does 1X/Express/Nationalaccess) and switch between things all the time
(modem during the day, cell at night when free time kicks in).
Trick is, don't use the data cord at all. Set everything to use a lan
connection (so your mail program and browser work off the internal lan
buffers), and then whatever connection you start
(wireless/ethernet/dial-up/WiFi etc), puts stuff in the buffers for the
mail/browser etc to use..
When you upgrade phones (2235 is the lowest Kyocera that does the high
speed), that will work fine too.
