Connectivity

You can define the settings for GPRS dial-up connections.

GPRS AND EGPRS

GPRS (general packet radio service) is a network service that allows mobile
phones to be used for sending and receiving data over an Internet protocol
(IP)-based network. GPRS is a data bearer that enables wireless access to data
networks such as the Internet.

EGPRS (enhanced GPRS), also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates for global
evolution), is similar to GPRS. EDGE is a radio interface modulation technique
which increases GRPS data rates. For more information on the availability of
EGPRS and data transfer speed, contact your service provider.

When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS instead
of GPRS if it is available in the network. You cannot select between EGPRS and
GPRS in your phone, but for some applications, you may be able to select either
GPRS or GSM data (CSD—circuit switched data) as the data bearer. The data
bearer is part of the preferred access point and can be changed in Configuration
settings (see “Configuration settings” on page 38).

The applications that may use GPRS are MMS, instant messaging, browsing
sessions, remote SyncML, Java application downloading, and the PC dial-up (for
example, Internet connections).

Before you can use GPRS technology, contact your service provider for availability
of and subscription to the GPRS service, and save the GPRS settings for each of
the applications used over GPRS.

GPRS CONNECTION

Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS connection and one
of the following:

•

Always online—Set the phone to automatically register to a GPRS network
when you switch the phone on.

•

When needed—Set the phone to establish GPRS registration and connection
when an application using GPRS needs it and to close the connection when
you end the application.
