## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works very well but do youreally need it?
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2001*

I bought this fine product right after I bought my Pocket PC. It plugged right in and i dialed up my earthlink account with no problem. I dont think it could have been easier. The only thing is, i have only used it 3 or 4 times. Whats the point? Pocket IE works well but the view is way to small. Its cool to be able to pull up web pages on your Pocket PC but it looses its coolness pretty quick. Now a wireless modem would be useful but they are a lot more expensive and have additional monthly fees.

    It works! What's more to say?
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2000*

When you're buying a modem for a pocket computer, you're probably not interested in bells and whistles; you want something that's as small and as reliable as possible, that will let you connect to the Internet and check  your email or surf the Web.The Pretec modem fits that need perfectly.  There's no flashing LEDs, no driver discs; the box contains nothing but the  tiny modem, a phone cord and a brief instruction manual. (There's not even  an AOL disc. They must be slipping.)I was able to get connected in less  than ten minutes, without touching the instruction manual.  Just slip the  modem into the slot, plug in the phone cord, set up a few basic connection  settings, and you're off and running.  If your ISP supports WIndows dialup  networking, it will very probably support this.The manual is the weak  spot; the installation settings it describes on page 7 and 8 may well not  match up with those needed.  Since the dialogs used to configure the Pocket  PC are quite similar to the dialogs used to set up Windows dial-up  networking, you'll want to have your ISP's setup instructions  available.In conclusion, this product is certainly more than worthwhile;  it gives you full-featured dialup capabilities in only a few cubic inches  of space.One final caveat:  This product is also known as the  "Pocket PC Email Expansion Pack".  If you've just purchased a  Pocket PC, you may find that there's a special offer included for this  expansion pack, and you'll want to check out that offer's pricing and terms  before deciding where to buy.

    Had to replace
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2000*

I ordered the Pre Tec modem along with a new Journada.  Unfortunately it did not work as I could not get it to connect with phone line.  I know that this happens once in a while and understand that a faulty modem can be sent  out.  I have ordered another to replace it and will review it's performance  later.  The real problem that I have is there is not support telephone  number for a Pre Tec product owner to get help when a problem like this  happens.  I even went to Hewlet Packard as this is the only modem out there  that I know of that supports the Journada.  Their tech support did what I  did and tried to find a support telephone number on the Pre tec web site  with no luck.  I find it surprising that Hewlet Packard would allow a  fellow vendor of the only thing that works with their product ot allow  this.  It was very frustrating that Hewlet Packard did not even have an  internal number to call.
