How does the Pocket PC cellular cable work?

	Pocket PC's are equipped with a section under settings called "connections" where you simply type in your current Internet Service Providers (ISP) Name, User Name, Password and phone number. This is the same ISP information that you use for your other computers. Same account, nothing changes. When you tap on "connect", the Pocket PC dials your ISP though the cellular phone and connects you to your ISP and the internet. You do not require software drivers. Everything is built into the operating system. You get connected in less than 10 seconds.
	Once online you simply tap on Internet Explorer or Avantgo to browse the web. To send/receive email simply go to your Inbox and set up your email info. You will in all cases continue to use your current email address, user name and password. Nothing changes. No software is required other than what comes standard with your Pocket PC.
	The reason you don't need a modem is because your phone acts as a modem. Your phone is a digital device and so is your Pocket PC. You only require a modem when connecting to a land line with a computer because a land line is an analog signal and computers are digital. So a modem is used to convert the digital signal coming out of the computer to an analog signal which your normal land line requires.
	Because your phone is now digital, no conversion is necessary. Your Pocket PC easily communicates with any digital cellular phone that is "web enabled". Web enabled means it has the ability to transmit data as well as voice calls. Most cellular phones produced today are web enabled. However there are some which are not. Therefore it is important when purchasing a new phone to make sure it is a data capable, web enabled phone and a data cable is available for it.
	Some cellular carriers may charge a monthly fee of $5.00 or so to use your phone as a modem. It is very important to check with your cellular provider to make sure you have this feature enabled if it is required.
	There is no extra charge when using your cellular phone as a modem. You are only charged for the time you are online, just as you are when making a voice call.
	Our cables include detailed instructions which allow you to get you up and running within 5 minutes
