CHAPTER 12
Using Phone Link
Phone Link helps you configure a connection between your handheld and 
a compatible mobile phone. You can connect to a compatible mobile phone 
using any of the following methods:
nBluetooth technology: A wireless link that enables you to connect to a 
Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone that is within 10 meters (approximately 
30 feet) of your handheld. See“Bluetooth Preferences” in Chapter 17 for 
additional information on Bluetooth technology.
nInfrared communication: A wireless link that enables you to connect to an 
infrared-enabled mobile phone within 1 meter (approximately 39 inches) of 
your handheld. The infrared ports on the two devices must be aligned and the 
path between the two devices must be clear of obstacles. See“Beaming data” in 
Chapter 3 for more information about your handheld’s infrared capabilities.
nA serial cable connection: A wire-based link that connects your handheld to a 
mobile phone with a physical cable.
Serial cables and mobile phones that are enabled with infrared or Bluetooth 
technology are sold separately.
What can you do with a phone connection?
When your handheld is linked to a mobile phone and your mobile phone carrier 
supports the required services, you can do the following:
nAccess the Internet: Use a high-speed wireless data service (such as GPRS), or 
data services and an Internet service provider (ISP) dial-up account, to access 
the Internet. To browse the web, you must install the web browser application 
from the Software Essentials CD-ROM. Refer to the Palm Web Browser Pro 
Handbook for information on using this application.
nCheck and send e-mail: Use a high-speed wireless data service, or data services 
and a dial-up connection to access your POP3 or IMAP e-mail account. To use 
the e-mail features, you must install the e-mail application from the Software 
Essentials CD-ROM. Refer to the Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software 
Handbook for information on using this application.

nExchange SMS messages: Use a GSM mobile phone carrier service to send and 
receive short text messages. To use this feature you must install the SMS 
message application from the Software Essentials CD-ROM. Refer to the SMS 
Handbook for information on using this application.
nDial telephone numbers from your Address Book: Use the Quick Connect and 
Tap-to-Connect features with a GSM mobile phone to dial directly from your 
Address Book. See“Making connections from Address Book” in Chapter 5 for 
details.
nUse a dial pad on your handheld to dial numbers on your phone: Send telephone 
numbers from your handheld to your GSM mobile phone. To use this feature 
you must install the Dialer application from the Software Essentials CD-ROM. 
Refer to the Dialer Handbook for information on using this application.
nPerform wireless HotSync® operations: Use your mobile phone as a modem, and 
synchronize data with your computer from anywhere within your mobile 
phone service area. To use this feature, your mobile phone service must include 
data services. See“Conducting modem HotSync operations” in Chapter 16 for 
additional information.
A GSM mobile phone, GSM network service, data service, high-speed wireless 
data service, and an ISP account with a dial-up connection are not included with 
your handheld.

Updater applications guide you through this process. For information on how to 
enter or modify these settings manually, see“Setting Communication 
Preferences” in Chapter 17 and “Network preferences” in Chapter 17.
The instructions in this section assume that you already installed the desktop 
software that came with your handheld and performed at least one HotSync 
operation.
