  • Wi-Fi Remote Access

    With Wi-Fi Remote Access, you can access the phone from your computer's web browser via Wi-Fi. This is handy when you don't have the phone's USB cable with you and don't want to have to email files to transfer them. It also has a registry editor for editing the phone's registry remotely.
