Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable you to connect to the
Internet through a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network. The GPRS is a new non-
voice value added service that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile
telephone network. You can set up connections to the Internet or to a corporate network to
browse the Internet, and exchange e-mail or instant messages.
Your device is able to configure itself for data services for many of the major operators across
the world. Simply insert your SIM card and switch on your device. When the device is powered
on it will configure itself or Web, WAP and MMS services. If the settings are not known for your
operator, the device will notify you and you will need to enter these manually.
Note:
The use of Web and WAP access and Multimedia Messaging Service is subject to your
Mobile Service Provider. You must ensure that your subscription has Web, WAP and
MMS enabled before using these services.
You may connect to the internet in using your mobile service provider‟s data network. The
mobile operator may offer you service through a GPRS connection (fast, but generally billed by
volume of data transferred), or through a Circuit Switched (slow, generally billed by amount of
time connected). You should check with your mobile service provider how you may access the
internet using their network.
