10.3 Ways of Connecting to the Internet
Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or
your corporate network at work through one of the following connections:
• GPRS or EDGE
• Dial-up
Note You can also add and set up the following connections:
• VPN: A VPN connection is used to access your corporate network by using
an existing Internet connection.
• Proxy: A Proxy connection is used to access the Internet using an existing
connection to your corporate or WAP network.
GPRS
Use GPRS (or EDGE, if available) to connect to the Internet and to send and
receive e-mail and picture messages on your device. You will need a data
plan to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS network. Check with your
wireless service provider to find out about GPRS rates.
GPRS settings are already preconfigured on your device, and your device is
ready to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS services. Do not change
the settings as this may cause services to stop working.
To add a new GPRS connection
When you need to add another GPRS connection on your device, obtain the
Access point name from your wireless service provider. Also, check if the
GPRS network requires a user name and password.
