Re: Dreamstation cellular modem

Does it matter? If course not. I was looking for a technical answer from someone who may be interested in the cellular component of the modem,and the process and or provider used to connect to the supplier.

Dreamstation cellular modem

Looked through here and Google to see what cell provider the modem uses to connect and can't seem to find the answer. I have found the frequencys it uses so maybe that would be the key. It has a regular IMEI number just like a normal cellular phone. I would guess Verizon but maybe someone knows for ...

Re: Tinnitus anyone?

Re: CPAP failed, oral appliance failed, back to CPAP, help!

Would I still need a full face mask when using the collar? Or could I get away with some kind of nose pillow or something. I'm thinking my mouth would still open enough to let air out.

Re: Zyppah Dental Appliance
