Question: Why does the amount of airtime between battery charges seem to fluctuate?Answer: Some possible reasons for inconstant battery life are that low signal strength saps additional energy to transmit and receive signals; and sending data demands more power than receiving data. Question: Is it possible to charge my battery while using the Belkin Wireless Internet Connection?Answer: Some models of web enabled cell phones work with external power and data connectors, but most of these phones share the same port for recharging the battery and data activity. Therefore, both the data cable and battery charger can't be connected simultaneously. In this case, we suggest that you watch battery strength levels when you're using the Belkin Wireless Internet Connection. We recommend that you use a second battery if you're apt to use the wireless internet for extended periods. Question: What should I expect to occur if my charge expires during a wireless data call?To avoid recurrences, be sure to monitor your battery charge during data and fax calls. Web enabled cell phone vs. Question: What features distinguish my web enabled cell phone from a standard external modem?Answer: Clearly, the web enabled cell phone is wireless and a conventional modem isn't, but an even greater difference is that your web enabled cell phone doesn't contain a modem.

Answer: Your computer is reporting the data speed through the cable between your computer and phone. The system communication speed from your phone and the carrier network is no more than 14400 bps. Question: Why doesn't my data transmission speed accelerate when my signal is especially strong?Answer: The data transmission speed won't increase because it isn't determined by signal strength. Question: Am I able to use a faster internal modem with my web enabled cell phone for wireless data calls? [. . . ] Or your computer cannot detect a dial tone. 1.
