Dual mode
, the device
uses the GSM or UMTS network automatically, according to the network parameters and
the roaming agreements between the wireless service providers. For details and
roaming costs, contact your network service provider. This option is shown only if
supported by the wireless service provider.
A roaming agreement is an agreement between two or more service providers to enable
the users of one service provider to use the services of other service providers.
Operator selection

agreement with your home network.
Cell info display

based on microcellular network (MCN) technology and to activate cell info reception.
Wireless LAN
Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a
WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN support.
About WLAN
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be available in the location, and your
device must be connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you need an
access key from the service provider to connect to them.
Note:
Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France,
you are only allowed to use WLAN indoors. For more information, contact your local
authorities.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the background while using other
features, increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
•
IEEE 802.11b/g and WAPI standards
•
Operation at 2.4 GHz
•
Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access
(WPA), and 802.1x authentication methods. These functions can be used only if they
are supported by the network.
