Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / March 2004Using Nokia 3589i as FAX modem
I use my 3589i as a data modem (with the DKU-5 cable) with my Windows XP laptop. I usually use Verizon's 3G network, but as a test I have connected using the data/fax modem driver to my ISP and that works fine. However, I'd like the ability to send/receive faxes with the phone, and I can't figure out how to set that up. I am trying to use the built-in Windows XP Fax Console. The Data/Fax modem driver (or whatever it's called) for the phone is installed and I have used it for data. I have figured out that in order to let me pick the Nokia as a modem, I need to have the phone turned on and plugged in before Windows starts up. So far, I have been able to choose the Nokia as the modem and initiate a test fax, but it just keeps failing when it tries to send. Anyone have any better luck using their 3589i as a fax modem?

You must install the modem driver for the phone first. This is probably on the CD that comes with the DKU-5 cable, but I had already downloaded the drivers from Nokia's website. Then, you setup a new dial-up connection in Windows dial-up networking. Your dial phone number is #777. your username is <wireless-number>@vzw3g.com . Your password is "vzw" (no quotes). That's it. : Do you have to subscribe to National access? Well, yes, but it is a free add-on (automatic) with the America's Choice plan. You get it by default. This allows you to use 3G just like regular voice minutes. if you have another plan other than AC, you will probably need to subscribe. : Does Verizon offer the Mobile Office Kit software for this phone without the : cable or can I just use Nokia's PC Suite (I have the Nokia DKU-5 on order)? No, they don't offer an office kit, but you get a CD with the cable I think. I didn't even use it - I just downloaded PC Suite from their website plus grabbed the modem drivers.

I had purchased the PC3220 laptop card but did not feel it was worth another $79.99/month so I cancelled that number. Do you know if there is an option to add the extra MB National Access plans to my current number (20 MB/$39.99, 60MB/$59.99, Unlimited/$79.99) or would that be a question for customer care? BTW, how do you like the speeds? I used to use Sprint PCS Vision with my laptop and it was decent compared with dialup. How does National Access compare with dialup? It has to be better, right? Anyways, thanx again. I will wait for your reply and won't bother you again.

That would be a question for customer care, as I have the America's Choice plan. Do you have a different plan? With America's Choice, there is no charge for download size - just cell minutes like you were making a voice call. I have read (here or on Howard Forums) that you used to be able to get "extended network" (old name for national network) added to your plan if you asked with the right terminology. When you call, *don't* ask for a "feature" - then they'll just try to sell you an internet package. What you want is an add-on to your current plan, not a new feature. : BTW, how do you like the speeds? So-so. It's good for working in a pinch when you can't get WiFi, but you can tell it seems sometimes slow. I think your real speed is limited to the equivalent of about 56K even though my computer claims it is connected much faster than that (200+Kbps). I think that higher number is just the connection rate between the phone and my computer. I would not want to use my phone as my primary internet access. : I used to use Sprint PCS Vision with my laptop and it was decent compared : with dialup. : How does National Access compare with dialup?

You can get a lot more information from http://www.howardforms.com (it is down as I type this). Just search the Verizon forum for "3589i data" or "3589i internet".

I ran speed tests and got download speeds above 90K. This is not as fast as cable but twice as fast as my landline Dial-up. > : Thanx alot!!! > : I had purchased the PC3220 laptop card but did not feel it was worth another [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > ----> To Email me remove "MYSHOES" from email address > ******************************************************************* |
