Introduction

Alienware Mobile Connect enables you to connect your computer to a smartphone and create an integrated experience. You

can work on the computer while you answer calls, send text messages or interact with your notifications. The application uses the

keyboard, mouse, touch screen, speakers, and microphone of your computer. The software consists of a computer application that

is preinstalled on supported Alienware computers, and a smartphone app that you can download from the Google Play store.

Alienware Mobile Connect uses an Internet connection to transfer files, send and receive text messages, share contact information,

establish a phone mirroring session, and send notifications. However, the application uses a Bluetooth connection to make and

receive calls, control the phone while mirroring, and mark text messages as read.
