70 Getting Connected
5.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your phone’s powerful networking capabilities allow you to access
the Internet or your corporate network at work through wireless and
conventional connections. Specifically, you can configure your phone to
establish a connection via Dial-up, GPRS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Virtual Private
Network (VPN), or Proxy.
With an active connection on your phone, you can browse the Web,
download e-mails, or chat using MSN Messenger. Check with your service
provider to see if a connection has already been set up for you, and if over-
the-air configuration is supported.
If you need to manually set up a connection, it is important that you obtain
the following information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the
company whose intranet you are trying to access:
•
ISP server phone number
•
User name
•
Password
•
Access point name (required for GPRS connection)
•
Domain name (required for accessing a corporate network or an
intranet)
Set up a GPRS connection
GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to be sent
and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use GPRS to
connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your phone. When
you use GPRS, you will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) when sending or receiving
information.
Note
Check with your service provider how much it charges for its GPRS service.
If GPRS settings are not preset on your phone, obtain the
Access point
name
from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your wireless
service provider if a user name and password are required.
