If your device does not support that, or if you're in an area without that type of connect, the phone will be busy when you use the data service. This, by the way, is true even when sending/receiving mail. But, given the way that BB's work, this rarely occurs. For example, I believe, if you are browsing the web with your BB, your phone will appear as busy -- Unless you have an EDGE/EVDO connection. Of note: I was pleased to discover that, on EDGE, email continues to arrive even when using the BB as an IP modem. I was in a hotel, on Skype, chatting away, and all the while my BB continued to bubble and buzz as email was received. I even tried Skype video (and it worked -- from Brussels no less).. it was choppy, and pixilated, but it worked. Saved a bundle on international calls and never paid the E10 a day for the hotel's crappy wireless connection. Regards Gavin Hi Tina,

You’re correct — whether or not the phone will work while using the BB as an IP modem is a function of:

1. the capabilities of the device
2. the type of data connection

In a nutshell, you need to have an EDGE or other similar 3G or near-3G connection. If your device does not support that, or if you’re in an area without that type of connect, the phone will be busy when you use the data service.

I am just trying to figure out if an incoming call will interrupt the data stream while using the BB as a modem. Does it depend on the device type or service? Thank you! Hello.
