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 mobile phone that is within 10 meters (approximately 30 feet) of your 
handheld. See“Bluetooth Preferences” in Chapter 21 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 General 
Packet Radio Service (GPRS)—or data services and an Internet service provider 
(ISP) dial-up account, to access the Internet and browse the web. See Chapter 18 
for more information.
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. See 
Chapter 16 for more information.
nDial telephone numbers from your Contacts: Use the Quick Connect and 
Tap-to-Connect features with a Global System of Mobile Communications 
(GSM) mobile phone to dial directly from your Contacts. See“Making 
connections from Contacts” in Chapter 7 for details.

nExchange SMS messages: Use a GSM phone carrier service to send and receive 
short text messages. See Chapter 14 for more information.
nUse Palm™ Dialer to dial numbers on your phone: You can use the phone keypad 
displayed on your handheld to dial numbers on your GSM mobile phone. See 
Chapter 8 for more 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.
