Description

GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS radio is disabled.

The GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio transmitter is enabled, but there is no GSM or GPRS/EDGE/UMTS 

service available.

Your Sony Ericsson PC card has service and indicates a signal strength of 3 out of 5 bars. 

CSD and SMS may be used, provided these are supported by your subscription. You cannot 

make a GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connection when your PC card is in this state. The connection 

button will be greyed out if you select a GPRS/EDGE/UMTS connection.

Your Sony Ericsson PC card has GSM and GPRS service. GPRS, CSD, and SMS may be used, 

provided these are supported by the subscription.

Your Sony Ericsson PC card has GPRS/EDGE service. EDGE, CSD, and SMS may be used, 

provided these are supported by the subscription. GPRS service is automatically used if EDGE is 

not available.

Your Sony Ericsson PC card has UMTS service. UMTS, CSD, and SMS may be used, provided 

these are supported by the subscription. If UMTS coverage is lost, the connection automatically 

switches to EDGE or GPRS, depending on which service is available in the mobile network.
