Data connections and access points
The device supports packet data connections ( ), such as
GPRS in the GSM network.
Glossary: General packet radio service (GPRS)
uses packet data technology where information
is sent in short packets of data over the mobile
network.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required.
You can define different kinds of access points, such as:
• MMS access point to send and receive multimedia
messages
• Access point for the Web application to view WML or
XHTML pages
• Internet access point (IAP) to send and receive e-mail
Check the kind of an access point you need with your
service provider for the service you wish to access. For
availability and subscription to packet data connection
services, contact your network operator or service
provider.
Packet data connections in GSM and WCDMA
networks
When you use the device in GSM and WCDMA networks,
multiple data connections can be active at the same time,
access points can share a data connection, and data
connections remain active during voice calls. To check the
active data connections, see "Connection manager" on
page 98.
The following indicators may be displayed below the signal
indicator, depending on which network you use:
GSM network. Packet data is available in the network.
GSM network. Packet data connection is active, data is
being transferred.
GSM network. Multiple packet data connections are
active.
GSM network. Packet data connection is on hold. (This
can happen during a voice call, for example.)
WCDMA networks. Packet data is available in the
network.
WCDMA networks. Packet data connection is active,
data is being transferred.
WCDMA networks. Multiple packet data connections
are active.
